Ep. 53: Teaching Positive Behaviors – Part 10 of the FBA Mini-Series 9:26

cách đây 7 ngày trước9:26

9:26

Continuing on in our FBA-BIP mini-series , we're at Step 10! This week, we’re tackling one of the most important steps in behavior intervention planning — choosing the right replacement behavior . Just reducing problem behavior isn’t enough; we have to actively teach what to do instead in a way that’s functional, motivating, and sustainable. 🔑 Key Takeaways ✅ Replacement behaviors must meet the same function – If a student yells to escape a task, teaching them to request a break makes sense. Giving them a fidget does not. ✅ Make it easy & efficient – The new skill must be as quick (or quicker) than the problem behavior, or it won’t stick. ✅ Teach what’s already in their repertoire – If a learner can’t say, “Can I take a break?” yet, start with something simpler, like using a break card. ✅ Plan for sustainability – Reinforcement should be natural whenever possible, so skills can generalize without heavy external rewards. ✅ Extinction matters – If the old behavior still works sometimes, students will keep using it. Staff must commit to only reinforcing the replacement behavior. 📚 Resources and Ideas 📌 Check out Episode 12 on replacement behaviors! 📌 Teaching Positive Behaviors FREE visuals 📌 These Functions of Behaviors social stories might be helpful for your young learners!

Ep. 52: BCBA in Schools vs. Clinics – Pros, Cons, and What to Expect 36:15

cách đây 21 ngày trước36:15

36:15

Join us as we break down the pros and cons of being a BCBA in a school vs. clinic setting , covering collaboration, job stability, workload, and more! 🔑 Key Takeaways ✅ Team Collaboration Matters – Schools often provide a built-in multidisciplinary team (SLPs, OTs, teachers, etc.), while clinics may have fewer collaboration opportunities. ✅ Family Involvement Differs – Clinics typically have more direct parent involvement due to insurance requirements, while schools rely on IEP meetings and teacher communication. ✅ Job Stability & Work-Life Balance – Schools offer predictable schedules, summers off, and union protections, while clinics can have more flexibility but higher burnout potential. ✅ Paperwork & Caseloads – Clinics may have intense insurance-driven documentation, while schools balance IEPs, FBAs, and larger caseloads. ✅ Making an Impact – Schools allow for systemic change across students and staff, while clinics often focus on intensive, individualized progress. 📚 Resources and Ideas 📌 ABAI & Autism NJ Conferences – Professional development opportunities for BCBAs in schools and clinics. 📌 Licensure & Certification Considerations – Some schools require dual certification (e.g., special education or school psychology). 📌 Work-Life Balance & Pay – Important factors to research when considering a BCBA role in either setting.

Ep. 51: Antecedent Strategies in Behavior Plans – Part 9 of the FBA Mini-Series 12:56

cách đây 5 weeks trước12:56

12:56

In this episode, we break down antecedent strategies—the proactive steps you can take to prevent challenging behaviors before they escalate. We explain how these strategies differ from setting event strategies, why they’re essential in a behavior plan, and how to apply them effectively in real-world settings. 🔑 Key Takeaways ✅ Antecedent vs. Setting Event Strategies – Learn the difference and when to use each. ✅ Proactive Supports – Identify triggers early and modify tasks before behaviors occur. ✅ Flexible but Clear Plans – Ensure strategies are individualized and easy to implement. ✅ Avoid Overloading Behavior Plans – Focus on the most effective strategies for each student. ✅ Monitor & Adjust – Track effectiveness and avoid changing strategies too soon. 📚 Resources and Ideas 📌 FBA Mini-Series Episodes – Catch up on previous episodes! 🎧 Start at the beginning 📌 Venn Diagram of Setting Event vs. Antecedent Strategies plus other antecedent strategy visuals Join Us... 🎙 Next Episode: Pros and Cons of working as a BCBA in the clinical vs. school settings 🌟 Subscribe : Don’t miss upcoming episodes on practical strategies and must-have resources for behavior support! 📢 Share this episode with a teacher, BCBA, or administrator looking for fresh approaches to special education and behavior analysis! 💬 Get Involved: Share your ideas in our Facebook group or tag us on social media. @TheMisfitBehaviorists 📚 Connect: Follow us for more tips, tools, and discussions about all things behavior and education.

Ep. 50: What to Do When You Don’t Know the Function of a Behavior 16:41

cách đây 7 weeks trước16:41

16:41

Struggling to address aggression in non-vocal learners? In this episode, Audra and Caitlin dive into practical strategies for managing sudden, seemingly random aggressive behaviors. They explore why behaviors might spike, the importance of consistent reinforcement, and how taking a step back can be the key to moving forward. ✨ Key Takeaways 🔄 When to Reset: If a learner’s aggressive behavior escalates, revisit earlier interventions, even if it feels like “going backwards.” ⭐ Know Your Learner: Conduct informal preference assessments regularly to keep reinforcers fresh and effective. 🧩 Consistency is Key: Ensure all team members are aligned on reinforcement strategies and behavior plans. 🎯 Dense Reinforcement Schedules: When needed, reintroduce primary reinforcers on a dense schedule to regain stability. 🌱 Progress Takes Time: Behavior change is a systematic process—don’t rush the fading of reinforcers or supports. 📚 Resources and Ideas ✔️ Caitlin's FREE guide on Function-Based interventions ✔️ Caitlin's resource for functions of behaviors ✔️ Audra's preference assessment and Caitlin's preference assessment 📘 Journal Articles – Some useful articles to check out: " Aggression in Autism Spectrum Disorder : Presentation and Treatment Options" (examines the prevalence and characteristics of aggression in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder) " Communication Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Minimally Verbal Children " (evaluates the effectiveness of communication interventions for minimally verbal children with ASD) 📘 Cooper, Heron, & Heward (2020): Applied Behavior Analysis (3rd Edition) for reinforcement and preference assessment strategies. 📝 The Essentials of ABA: Reinforcement schedules and managing satiation.

This episode explores the intersection of autism and anxiety , highlighting how to identify and address anxiety-driven behaviors in students with autism through evidence-based, student-centered approaches. ✨ Key Takeaways ✔️ We address a recent Facebook group question about trichotillomania and anxiety. ✔️ Recognizing Anxiety in Autism : Girls with autism often exhibit higher levels of social anxiety due to heightened awareness of social differences. ✔️ The Evolution of ABA : 20 years ago, internal events like anxiety were often ignored in behavior analysis.

What if inclusion didn’t just mean “pushing students in” but also “inviting peers in”? In this episode, we chat with Megan Stenziano from Moms Managing Behavior about a game-changing approach called reverse inclusion. From lunch and recess to peer buddy programs and after-school activities, Megan walks us through how her school created inclusive, meaningful social opportunities for all students. We discuss creative ideas, practical solutions, and even a program so popular it had parents saying, “It’s harder to get into than Taylor Swift tickets!” 🎟️ Don't miss this one! ✨ Key Takeaways 📢 What is Reverse Inclusion? — It’s when general education students join self-contained classrooms to create more comfortable and familiar spaces for students with disabilities. 💡 Why It Works: ✔️ Students feel at ease in their "home turf" classrooms. ✔️ Tools, supports, and sensory needs are already in place. ✔️ Less stress from big transitions to noisy, unfamiliar spaces. We talk about: 🤝 Peer Buddy Programs 🎨 Creative Inclusion Ideas 📈 How to Get Admin Buy-In 🧠 Take Data for Better Decisions 💪 Pro Tips for Starting Small Ideas for Reverse Inclusion Activities: ABA Art & Gym Specials — Invite related arts teachers to teach lessons in self-contained classrooms.

Ep. 44: Understanding Setting Event Strategies in Behavior Plans - Part 8 of the FBA Mini-Series 21:13

cách đây 18 weeks trước21:13

21:13

In this episode, we are tackling the first step of developing a solid behavior plan after the FBA has been completed and decisions made. Today, let's talk about Setting Event Strategies ! Key Takeaways 🧠 What Are Setting Event Strategies ? These are long-term adjustments that address factors influencing behavior, such as sleep, nutrition, routines, and the environment. 🌊 The Iceberg Analogy : Setting events are like the part of the iceberg beneath the water—hidden but critical for understanding behavior. 🛠️ Three Key Areas : Environmental modifications (e.g., seating changes, sensory adjustments). Addressing internal needs (e.g., sleep, hunger, hydration). Establishing predictable routines to reduce anxiety. 🕒 Timing Is Key : Setting event strategies are proactive and planned well in advance, unlike antecedent strategies, which are implemented immediately before behavior occurs. 🤝 Individualization Matters : Each strategy should be tailored to the unique needs of the learner. Join Us... 🌟 Subscribe : Don’t miss the next episode, where we’ll dive into antecedent strategies and how they differ from setting events! 💬 Join the Discussion : Share your favorite setting event strategies and ask questions in the comments or on our social media. @TheMisfitBehaviorists 📚 Explore More : Check out visuals and additional resources in the show notes and our online community .

We dive into practical strategies for teaching boundaries , internet safety , and identifying red flags , with examples tailored for different developmental levels. 🎯 Key Takeaways 💡 Scammers thrive on urgency : Their goal is to create fight-or-flight reactions, pushing victims to act quickly and irrationally. 🔑 Examples and non-examples matter : Teaching specific situations helps learners better understand boundaries and safety. 🛑 Teach "Pause and Verify" : Whether it’s an unfamiliar phone call, email, or social media link, teach learners to stop, check the source, and verify authenticity. 👥 Trusted adults are key : Reinforce the importance of having someone to consult before making decisions about sensitive information or transactions. 🌐 Privacy settings are crucial : Teach learners and aging parents how to adjust social media and online account settings to limit exposure of personal details.

Ep. 41: Prompt Dependence – Effective Strategies for Building Student Independence 15:42

cách đây 21 weeks trước15:42

15:42

🎯 Key Takeaways ✔️ Prompt Dependence Defined : Understanding prompt dependence and its impact on students’ ability to act independently. ✔️ Choosing the Right Prompting Strategy : Not all learners benefit from the same prompts! Learn how to assess if most-to-least or least-to-most is right for your learner. ✔️ The Power of the Pause : Pausing before prompting gives learners a chance to respond independently, which is key for fostering confidence and autonomy. ✔️ Prompt Fading Tips : Systematic fading strategies, including time delay, encourage independence by gradually removing prompts as learners build confidence. ✔️ Reinforcement Matters : Reinforce independent responses more than prompted ones to build self-reliance. Independence should always yield the biggest reward!

Ep. 39: Diddy Do it? The P. Diddy Scandal, Power Dynamics, Ethics, and Protecting Vulnerable Individuals 10:48

cách đây 23 weeks trước10:48

10:48

In this episode, Audra and Sami discuss the ethical implications surrounding the recent P. Diddy scandal , power dynamics in influential figures, and how this ties into our work as behavior analysts and educators . We dive deep into the importance of giving assent to students and clients and why protecting vulnerable individuals—whether in schools or society—must be our priority. Key Takeaways : 🧠 Power dynamics matter : Figures in positions of authority can misuse influence, making it crucial for us to stay vigilant in recognizing these behaviors. 🎯 Assent is key : We discuss the importance of giving students and clients the ability to say "no" to activities or instructions that make them uncomfortable. 🛑 Safety first : When working with vulnerable individuals, safety should always be the first priority—both in schools and in life. ⚖️ Mandated reporting : It’s better to speak up and be wrong than to stay silent and risk someone getting hurt. 🗣 Boundaries protect everyone : Teaching students and clients to set boundaries can protect them in all areas of life. Resources : 📚 Hanley's research on assent and control in behavior analysis 🎧 Previous episode: Compassionate Care ABA and Trauma-Informed Care and Challenging Behaviors 📑 Guide to ethical obligations in behavior analysis Join Us Next Time : Next week, join us as we chat about the differences between an IEP and a 504 plan.
