Session 160: What is Today’s ABA?

Instructor: Gregory Hanley, Ph.D., BCBA-D

CE Offering: 2.0

This event came from a Zoom call with Dr. Greg Hanley that was recorded on March 29th, 2021. As I mention at the outset, this call was the brainchild of Celia Heyman. She asked Greg to join the members of the ABA Study Group and the Behavioral Observations Patreon members for a special Q and A session, and lucky for us, he obliged.

We started the session with me asking Greg about an essay he published a few months ago titled A Perspective on Today's ABA, which you can find over at his website, practicalfunctionalassessment.com. We got into a lot of questions on this topic, including what inspired him to write the essay, what "today's ABA" means to him, how students and practitioners alike can reconcile the differing messages on functional assessment that are prevalent right now, how he feels the PFA/SBT process aligns with Trauma-Informed Care, and much, much more. The latter portion of the call included an extended question and answer session with the audience.

PS – please note that your participation certificate is emailed to you at the successful completion of the quiz. I have had some customers’ emails get lost in their spam/junk filters.
