Antonio Harrison Talk To Me is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of language assessment, teaching sessions, caregiver coaching, and natural communication routines. In Antonio Harrison Talk To Me, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

There is a definite necessity for mastering the technicalities of our verbal behavior, yet, always a time and place for it to be utilized. This talk will discuss the importance of being able to translate Behavior Analytic terminology into laymen language, discuss the effects and role it plays in working with clients, and provide examples of translation. Excellent presentation. It was much more than translating ABA jargon to verbiage folks can understand. Dr. Harrison is a very relatable person. I found his explanations and examples from real life to be very helpful in a practical way. He is helping people get the best results beyond the programs and data. Dr. Harrison is a dynamic speaker, and his presentation was a genius mix of practical, clinical, and real-life. I love his approach as a coach which is well suited for the clinical setting. This class was a real breath of fresh air. I have found much of the field of ABA very aversive and almost didn't recertify this year. But this and a couple of other classes in my "bundle" have led to my reconsideration. It seems that the field of ABA is going through a real self-examination, appropriate and long overdue, and the result will be a more human, more humanistic and ultimately, a more effective means for helping individuals work toward behavioral changes that they want to make. This is such an important topic that all BCBAs should review. So much of our training covers learning our scientific language, but I whole heartedly agree that it is just as important to be fluent in translating our terminology so that we can be as effective as possible.
