Dec 24, 2021

ABA in One Take- Show Notes

To close out the week, we will be covering a new article that was published by Ruppel and colleagues. This article is out of Western New England and seems to be out of Dr. Hanley's lab. This article reports on the Balance program, a preventative behavior analytic curriculum for children with emerging problematic behavior. Loosely based on the Preschool Life Skills Program, Balance focuses more on child and adult interactions and the utilization of synthesized contingencies. These authors reported on the preliminary results of the Balance program and identified areas for future research and modification. Overall, this article was a great demonstration of a potential preventative way of programming and general early intervention skills.
