March 2021 Preview

It's our 5th anniversary! And to celebrate, all the episodes this month have silly titles! But the topics we'll be discussing are anything but silly. More like timely, relevant, and professionally fulfilling. First, we'll be putting out our hot takes on the updated BACB ethics code. Then we'll be joined by some special guests, Dr. Evelyn Gould and Tameika Meadows from I Love ABA and Dr. Josh Felver, to talk about acceptance and commitment therapy and its impact on our practice (and ourselves!) during the COVID-19 pandemic, how we can use student perseverative interests to improve learning outcomes, and the research behind utilizing mindfulness curricula in schools. Not all at once of course. That would be a really confusing episode. Wondering if you should get us a gift for our anniversary? Nothing would make us happier than seeing you over at our Patreon page so we can all get together to discuss our March Book Club topic, "Neurotribes". And, starting this month, patrons get access to our episodes a week early! Articles for March 2021 The New Ethics Code: Skybridge to Tomorrow Behavior Analyst Certification Board. (2020).
