I'm SO honored that Belen agreed to come on the Pod; she's been a leader in Ascend for years and recently became co-chair of our DEI committee. I love how she talks about the importance of asking for what you want and her advice to those considering starting a DEI committee. In short: ask your colleagues and teammates what DEI means to them, start the conversation. Isn't that how all powerful change happens in life, by starting a conversation? Enjoy, kind listener!

Pam is a neighbor of mine in Golden, Colorado and fellow former outdoor educator ... in addition to being a BCBA, on the faculty of Purdue Global, and owning her own practice. It's easy to look back on our lives and think 'everything happens for a reason.' Whether or not that's true, I like to think that hers and mine similar experiences teaching in the outdoors helped us find this ABA field that we both love. And if you're a student at Purdue? TAKE HER OBM CLASS! the pr...

I'm fortunate to have frequent conversations on this Pod that transform how I think about our world. And this conversation transformed me more than most. I hadn't seen the Emmy award winning Netflix show "Love on the Spectrum" before I met its supporting star, Devin Morrissey. My eyes were opened in April when I saw him on a panel at the Autism Investor Summit that gave me profound new insights into the world of a self-described "autistic powerhouse." Devin is SO au...

Amber's a classic CEO/Entrepreneur/Founder: she's started an ABA practice, a global non-profit, she's starred in documentaries. I'll highlight two (of many) things I appreciated about our conversation 1) her international non-profit - focusing on parent-training & parent-led interventions - not only addresses supply/demand imbalances for BCBAs/RBTs globally ... it's potentially a model that payers here in the US (that's you, Tricare) are actively exploring; coul...

I've always been intrigued by the question: "is a little ABA better than none at all?" Some people/agencies I speak with insist on clinical models that conform exactly to clinical prescriptions and the traditional 2-tiered model of ABA. I totally agree ... as long as families have that option. But what about families in rural areas? Or families of older kiddos who sit on interminable waitlists and can't get services? It feels like they deserve the life-changing power of our s...

Dr. Rachel Taylor is the newest-elected Director of the CASP Board of Directors and a longtime ABA business owner/operator. When her son was diagnosed and she was seeking therapy, her reaction was "we know how to do this better." That's been the basis of her decades long passion for highest quality ABA programs and advocacy in our communities. I liked learning about her Risk-Driven Approach (RDA) to the consulting work she does with organizations. The goal? "Maximize desired ...

There is a moral and ethical imperative to address burnout in physicians." So says the Mayo Clinic and such is Sarah's passion for addressing burnout in our own ABA field. This isn't a 'nice to have' for ABA organizations, it's a must. Sarah's a lively and engaging breath of fresh air: though she's self-admittedly from "the Jurassic Age" as the 1,000th-ish BCBA, she brings a very direct perspective and message to ABA owners to get this right.

I'm fascinated by the intersection of digital health and behavioral healthcare. After all, if more of our lives are moving online, wouldn't our therapy trend in that direction too? Vijay helps me navigate the implications of this through the lens of Floreo, the "first behavioral therapy metaverse."

Before I joined the autism services field (in 2012), I spent 6+ years in outdoor education non-profits, including starting and growing my own non-profit, Sierra Nevada Journeys, from 2006-2012.

Rachael comes from the IDD/ABA world and her specialty (in addition to leading operations) is grant-writing ... including finding grants that for-profit providers can apply for (candidly, I didn't even k...
