Boo! Welcome to the spookiest bunch of episodes about behavior analysis that you ever did see. First, we trick your podcast feed with a recording of our presentation at last year’s Thompson Center conference all about school attendance problems. After that, it’s guests, guests, guests as we talk with Dr. Erin Leif about promoting client rights, talk with Dr. Cory Whelan about conducting skill based treatment, and then respond to BCBA ethical questions with Shayna Gaunt and Shira Karpel from “How to ABA”. And an update on behavior analysis from around the globe. Well, from Australia, Canada, and Massachusetts at least. Plus: the return of the Beer-haviorist!
