Some of us have the uncanny ability to remember the names of everyone we meet while others, particularly parents, are able to find lost items when no one else can. As behavior analysts, we already engage in behaviors that allow us to be highly successful in changing behavior and improving people's lives. In this presentation, we will identify those superpowers for which we have been trained and discuss others that may be relatively new to us. The ABA superpowers we already have are high level behavior problem-solving skills, asking questions, and thinking in terms of data. The superpowers we should embrace are incorporating compassion and collaboration into our practice, thinking creatively, considering contextual variables across settings, incorporating reinforcement for all stakeholders, and being humble. Lisa Gurdin will provide recommendations for how to leverage these superpowers to improve your clinical and consultation skills. *BACB does not warrant, endorse, sponsor, or approve or partner with the event, organization, or instructor.
