Into the Weed(s): Leveraging the Science of OBM and ABA belongs in serious BCBA study because it shapes whether behavior-analytic decisions stay useful once they leave a clean training example and enter clinical documentation, payer communication, supervision records, and leadership review. In Leveraging the Science of OBM and ABA, for this course, the practical stakes show up in service continuity, accurate reporting, and defensible clinical decisions, not in abstract discussion alone.

From entrepreneurs to cannabis aficionados, many viewed the state's free-market approach as a low-cost opportunity to enter the industry. Because my husband and I already had several of the resources needed to begin legal cultivation on our farm, we established our small cannabis business in late 2019. However, we were one of many. The market quickly became saturated with license holders, causing Oklahoma's medical marijuana sales to surpass every predictive business model. Unfortunately, the rampant illegal growth and distribution of cannabis soon began to overshadow statewide production. It became clear that, for a cannabis business to survive such turbulence, it must become vertically integrated and diligently compliant. From cultivation to distribution, we recognized that adherence to the rapidly increasing legal oversight would be critical to keeping our doors open. To address these challenges, we leveraged organizational behavior management (OBM) and applied behavior analysis (ABA) to gain a competitive edge. This webinar will explore how our small, vertically integrated cannabis business used OBM and ABA to strategically improve and sustain our operations, strengthen our company culture, and positively impact our patients. Learn how we not only survived but thrived by harnessing the power of science.
