Bridging behaviorism and ACT isn’t about merging two unrelated systems—it’s about recognizing how deeply connected they already are. In this episode, we explore how Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) actually emerged from the foundations of behaviorism, and why understanding this relationship can make ABA practice more compassionate, flexible, and truly effective.
When it comes to BCBA supervision, are we just checking boxes or shaping confident, ethical clinicians? In this episode, we unpack how to move beyond the supervision task list to create meaningful, individualized supervision that actually prepares our trainees for real-world practice.
As BCBAs, we all know how challenging it can be to keep up with the latest research while managing the demands of daily practice. That’s why we invited Dr. Adam Ventura, CEO of Intraverbal AI, onto the podcast. In this conversation, we explore how technology can make evidence-based care more accessible for behavior analysts everywhere.
Great supervision is the foundation of great ABA. But it often feels like one more thing on an already full plate. In this episode, we talk about why effective, compassionate supervision in ABA matters and how our Supervision Bundle can make it easier to manage.
We’ve all written those “perfect” behavior plans that look great on paper but somehow never make it off the clipboard. In this conversation, we dig into the real reason plans succeed or fail: buy-in. Because even the most data-driven plan doesn’t matter if no one actually follows it.

We believe the future of compassionate ABA lies not in control, but in connection. In this conversation, we reframe what it means to support learners with compassion, trust, and respect
Reassessments often sneak up on us, and it can feel like just another box to check. But when used well, they are one of the most powerful tools we have to make sure our programming is meaningful and effective. In this conversation, we explore how reassessment and progress monitoring work hand in hand and why they should never feel like wasted time.
