Nothing says “summertime” like visiting friends. And what’s the podcast equivalent of a summer get together? Why a whole month devoted to guest episodes! This July we’re doing a world tour of topics from all over the ABA map. We kick things off with Dr. Roseanne Lesack and Dr. Jillian Wilson updating us on some of the best practices in improving social validity of parent training planning before crossing the country to discuss many of the questionable practices lurking in single-case experimental design with Dr. Matthew Tincani. Next we take a quick trip back home in our ongoing series on professional collaboration with special education teacher/BCBA, Carolyn Beaumier. Finally, , we travel to the other side of the topic world to listen to Dr. James Meindl on his work regarding a hypothetical functional account of mass shooting behavior. It’s a podcast vacation for the ages, and you’re invited to join us for free! The only thing missing is the little bag of pretzels.
