Supervision September 2 starts off this week with a look at the future of supervision. Namely, we discuss updates to supervision for BCBA trainees as laid out this past year by the BACB. Then, after the dry stuff, Rob talks with Dr. Jamie Hughes-Lika of Summit Autism Services about some technology tools that may make your supervision a little easier. Not discussed: Magical supervision robots who log your training hours minute-by-minute. Though wouldn't that be cool?

Back in time for the start of the new school year, it's our 2nd (annual?) Supervision September! All this month, we have episodes devoted solely to supervision: Supervision and technology, barriers to supervision, and supervision in training others. That's three episodes on supervision in a row! Plus, we unveil our exciting survey on technology (hey, would you mind taking it?) and talk about our appearances at the BABAT and Thompson Center Autism conferences in October. See you there!

This week, we're discussing asking for help and ways to improve this important life skill. We discuss basic requests for help, how to prevent overgeneralization of the response, and high- and low-tech solutions for asking for help when lost. Plus, Rob goes out of his way to make the absolute worst jokes possible in a feeble attempt to lighten the mood.

No one makes it through this crazy world alone. Whether a full-grown adult or a child with disabilities, everyone needs to be able to ask for help once in a while. But what happens when you keep asking for help all the time? Or your need help but don't know who to ask or where you are? Next week we'll be reviewing articles that have the answers to the these questions. But first, a whole bunch of upcoming episode and appearance reminders!

STOP! Before you start using that discontinuous data sampling system in your program, listen to special guest, Dr. Mary-Katherine Carey, join us for a discussion of its pros and cons. We'll review previous and recent research to determine whether discontinuous data systems really do save a lot of time, whether sampling data can ruin student programming, and whether you can get a scientific study done in a month. Don't worry: We find some time to act all silly and go off on irrelevant tangents too. Articles discussed this episode: Cummings, A.R. & Carr, J.E. (2009).

Ever sit down to take data and, as you're writing down all those pluses and minuses, tell yourself, "There's got to be a better way"? Well, I've got some good news and some bad news for you! Next week, we're talking with the newly-minted Dr. Carey about discontinuous data systems and the good, the bad, and the ugly about their use. But first, an errata chock full of excellent emails and a brief discussion of upstate New York over-the-air broadcasts. And Rob shares a geek fact.

It's our most popular episode type: Grab bag! And by popular, I mean popular to us because we get to read whatever articles we want to! This week, Rob sits down at the ol' baby grand and plays a tune about stimulus equivalence, Diana neutrally praises the effort, and Jackie eats all the poison we left on the floor. Perhaps our most disjointed episode to date. Articles discussed this episode: Griffith, K.R., Ramos, A.L., Hill, K.E., & Miguel, C.F. (2018).

What's that sound coming across the misty moors? Some folks say a grab bag full of behavior analytic articles roams these dark plains, searching for a podcast to eat. Legend tells of a team of BCBAs who will tame the grab bag and bring its research to the ABA community. Might you be the ones the legend speaks of?
