Our financial behavior has been influenced and molded from day one by our parents' beliefs and habits, the routines of those in our inner circles, and marketing geniuses who have us all in the palm of their hands. The question is, are we in control of our money or is our money in control of us? How can we use ABA to shape healthier financial habits? As behavioral scientists, we know that everything we do is behavior. We are experts at practicing these beliefs on the Autistic individuals we work with every day, but what about our own habits and behaviors? Think about it... how is a little boy who engages in SIB to gain mom's attention any different from a millennial who spends money frivolously to get that dopamine hit and stave off the depression for a little bit longer? In this presentation, we'll look at how to use our behavior analytic background to shape better financial habits while also diving into a few of those habits with tips and tricks on better budgeting, saving, and paying off those pesky debts.
