Session 12: Mary Lynch Barbera on The Verbal Behavior Approach, e-Courses, Book Writing, and Professional Development

Session 12 of The Behavioral Observations Podcast features an in-depth conversation with Mary Lynch Barbera, BCBA-D. In this episode, we talk about a wide range of topics including, but not limited to,

  • Her pre-ABA career as a nurse (which actually involved quite a bit of OBM work!).
  • How she learned about behavior analysis, and how her advocacy for her son led her to becoming a BCBA.
  • The motivation behind writing her best-selling book, The Verbal Behavior Approach, and creating her e-course, Autism ABA Help: Online Training for Professionals and Gung-Ho Parents.
  • What her writing practices are, and how best to avoid, "the curse of knowledge," when communicating behavioral principles with lay people.
  • Her thoughts on some recent workshops from the recent National Autism Conference at Penn State University.
