Yesterday, @BenRidenJMU and I had the honor to present all day on the science of behavior and interventions + data collection/analysis to support student success to a group of amazing educators. Thank you Department of Exceptional Learning - Chesapeake! We look forward to continuing our collaboration this year.

I had the privilege of speaking to some amazing Virginia educators on Tuesday! Thank you for the invite VDOE News, TTAC WM, Old Dominion University TTAC, and Center on Transition Innovations.

This week, my ABA students JMU College of Education demonstrated their knowledge on behavior-change procedures by developing two task analyses for the same chained task for two different learners (i.e., moderate/severe disability). Love seeing them grow as future BCBAs.

“Assume that I can, so maybe I will!” Let’s be careful of the assumptions we make about individuals. Those very assumptions can box people in and limit their outcomes. Let’s challenge the dominant narrative and shoot for the stars! ✨
