Episode 246 - Trans-Affirming Care w/ Worner Leland

Could it be? Could Jackie's option for Listener Choice actually have won the poll? I guess everybody really wants to learn more about the challenges involved in moving from one activity to the next. So, in this episode, that's exactly what we'll review. Are there good treatment options when putting down the iPad and joining an arts and crafts activity leads to tears? How can we even pinpoint where and why the transition chain is breaking down? Put down your JABA and head on over to your phone to find out. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

To wrap up the spooky season we leave you with a treat of an episode, the audio from the Thompson Center 2025 conference poster session. While Jackie and Diana often serve as judges for the event, Rob gets to wander around wherever the poster topics take him and enjoy short conversations with the authors. And sometimes, he gets to talk about video games! Please enjoy this sampling of student and practitioner research and practice from our friends at the Thompson Center.

Despite Rob disbelieving it, we've gone 300+ episodes without ever devoting an entire hour to research covering safety skills. So, before Dr. Miltenberger busts in to give us feedback about our failing, in situ-style, we get right on it. Aside from looking at specific examples of safety skills training with firearms and earthquakes, we look at the larger swath of training research to figure out what works best, what gets used most, and what components provide that extra-special treatment magic that your program can't succeed without.

We had so much fun the last time we talked about behavioral artistry, we decided to do it again. And this time, we brought one of the folks that's leading the charge to better define just exactly what we DO when we act as behavioral artists. That's right! Dr. Amy Buskzpan is joining us to share the latest in her work on training others to serve as behavioral artists and to help us discrminate TIP from BST. Plus, the Inside Track Gang owes a big citation apology to Dr. Buskzpan…and she doesn't let us forget it! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

LIVE via recording from St. Charles, Missouri! It's a preview episode! Yes, we continue our fall tradition of discussing everything coming out this spoooooky month from the comfort of the Thompson Center Conference hall.
