BCBA to BCBA: Joy Through ABA
Do you bring joy to your clients and their families? Does your clientโs success bring joy to you?
Dearest fellow clinicians,
Joy. Joy
Do you bring joy to your clients and their families? Does your clientโs success bring joy to you? Dr. Hanleyโs encourages us to join him โon this quickening walk towards a more perfect ABA to help families of autistic persons whose lives are negatively impacted by problem behavior.โ
I recommend you take Dr. Hanleyโs Practical Functional Assessment and Skills-Based Treatment (PFA/SBT) 10 CEU online course.
I am not a master in Dr. Hanleyโs PFA/SBT program, but there is an entire community that can help you learn it and be successful with the program. The 10-hour online course and team members will help you bring success to your clients with joy! โPFA and SBT Community: My Way to HREโ is a Facebook groupthat will answer questions, share trainings, and support all who want to implement ABA โthat their grandmother would be proud ofโ (as Hanley suggests in the videos).
What is it? PFA/SBT is a program that helps you individualize the clientโs program with much less blood, sweat, or tears. The program teaches you to implement ABA in a way that brings remarkable success and joy! If you take his 10 CEU study, you may feel it goes against what you learned about ABA. For instance, like many of you, I was trained to teach a client socially-appropriate ways to make requests. However, if they donโt do what we taught them, we wait it out. That waiting can be painful for everyone involved in the showdown. There is a better, more loving way.
I leave you today with a few thoughts:
