While behavior analysts might think themselves immune to falling into poor practices when supporting students in public schools, don't forget that we too are sensitive to the contingencies of our environment. And when those environments are using statistically higher rates of punishment in the form of harsh discipline practices for females of color... This week we're joined by special guest, Dr. Mawule Sevon to discuss the research on this terrible trend, how behavior analysts might inadvertantly support its promulgation by responding to assessment and observation requests, and what our field can do to support anti-racist practices in school discipline.

Episode 349 - Preparing for Public School Practice w/ Dr. Kristin Foley + Dr. Fina Robertson
Since we've done about 100 episodes pointing out the general lack of preparedness of BCBAs leaving grad school and jumping right into public school work, it'd be pretty mean of us not to have some episodes where we tell you HOW to prepare. And this week we have special guests, Dr. Kristin Foley and Dr. Fina Robertson, doing just that. We cover some of the basics as to how to make friends with teachers and administrators rather than alienating them with your behavior analytic jargon before discussing specific reflection and action steps needed to ensure not just competence in your work, but also maintaining your ethical expectations while you get to work.

Bonus Episode 42 - ABA Inside Track Origins: Your Ex-lover Is Dead
To celebrate our 10-year podcast anniversary, we take a look back to the days before Rob, Diana, and Jackie talked about ABA over the airwaves and just talked about songs with Rob's first ever podcast "They're Playing Our Song". Each Friday we'll be highlighting the trio's first ever podcasts recorded. Look how far they've come! Originally Posted: 9/14/2015 This week, it's Jackie's first podcast ever where she talks with Rob about her favorite song, "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" by Stars. FUN FACT: Listen in at around the 20 minute mark to hear the first public mention of the three of us planning to make a podcast about ABA. I can't remember if we'd actually PLANNED anything yet or if Jackie was just willing the show into existence. In any case six months later, ABA Inside Track premiered.

Episode 339 - Public Posting
This week we're going back to the widget factory with a discussion of OBM research related to public posting. But don't worry: You can use this feedback technique anywhere and everywhere! From the classroom to the auto plant to the bicycle track, we review the research to see if this visual feedback technique is worth the tape needed to hang the data on the wall. And, even more important, if the folks whose behavior you're hoping to change are ok with having their performance out where everyone else can see it! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

I don't want to sound like an old grump here, but kids these days with their devices and social medias are in trouble. What's that, you say? There's a whole book that not only agrees with that sentiment, but also has data to prove that the worsening outcomes of the world's youth are likely causal to the rise of social media and constant access to phones? Yes, it's Jonathan Haidt's "The Anxious Generation" and for our Spring Book Club, we've read it and are ready to discuss these eye-opening findings at with our regular crew. Fortunately, there's a lot more here than just evidence of the decline of play-based childhoods since the '80s and the significant rise of depression and anxiety in young adults since the 2010s. We've also got some ideas (some from the book and some from us) as to what we can do to turn this trend around. Rob and Diana put their youngest kid into a tall tower. That's not recommended by Haidt, but one can never be too careful! The full episode is available for 2.0 LEARNING CEUs.

You'd never guess it given the horrible audio quality of this episode. Thank goodness for our editor, Dan!

When food and toys just aren't cutting it for your learning needs, here comes awesomely fun social interactions. But which to choose? Wiggle arms? Tickles? There's got to be a better way!

Episode 337 - ABA and Down Syndrome w. Dr. Kathleen Feeley
As the insurance landscape for ABA services continues to open up new avenues for families to search for the best evidence-based treatments (way to go MA!), BCBAs may find themselves unwittingly practicing outside of their scope of competence. Case in point: Working with clients with Down syndrome. So, rather than fall back on the "behavior analytic principles are true for all organisms" excuse, why not dive into the research on ABA and Down syndrome by listening to this week's episode. And, if that's not enough for you, how about hearing directly from Dr. Kathleen Feeley who has been supporting learners with Down syndrome with ABA methods for years. Nothing feels better than building one's competence in a new area! This episode is available for 1.0 DUAL-DIAGNOSIS (QABA)/1.0 LEARNING (BACB) CEU.

March 2026 Preview
Happy 10th Anniversary, ABA Inside Track! Yes, after 10 years of laughs, research discussion, and podcasting, we're finally reaching the Tin-phase of the show (because we're so durable). Though, beyond our long-winded trips down memory lane, we're still here doing what we do best: Creating amazing discussions about topics and research that matter to behavior analysts. Plus a Book Club! We kick the month off with some special guests including Dr. Kathleen Feeley who brings us up to speed on supporting children with Down syndrome using ABA methodology, and friend of the show, Dr. Casey Clay, who shows us how to extend preference assessment technology to the social interaction realms. Finally, we wrap up our regular episodes with a dip into OBM by reviewing the research on using public posting to improve employee performance. Then, our Spring Book Club sprouts with a very timely discussion of "The Anxious Generation" by Johnathan Haidt with Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman. Put down your social media feeds and pick up your mp3 players! It's learning time. In lieu of flowers and congratulations cards, you may think kind thoughts about us as you download all these episodes.
