Hi everyone! My name is Ally, and I’m excited to be a part of this community! My subspecialties are instructional design and training, supervision, and school-based ABA. What are yours?

Big win for me! I conducted a 6 hr ACT workshop for social workers (worth 6 CEUs today.) It was in person with 20 very invested people attending. We had great discussions, activities, exercises and even a little dance party (Dancing around the hexaflex.) I educated on the principles and provided a lot of experiences. I wish I had prepared more about the intersection between ACT and the other EBPs they use, but I shared my humility and learned from them. I loved that some of the exercises led to what I hope will be committed action. One mom talked about how much she dreads making dinner for her family of 6. I used coaching skills to dig a little deeper into the why, and is it a value or is her priority in life right now to spend time and the kids’ many events. By the end of the day she made a SMART goal to work with her family and have them all start planning and prepping meals! One of those goals I never would have suggested, but it seems to fit her values and lifestyle. We also used the Matrix as a group to talk through a big system issue many of them were complaining about on break. They said they could see the benefit of doing that with their staff!

Wondering why being a BCBA isn’t as fun as you thought it would be? Feel like you’re making more effort than your behavior techs or the families you are supporting? Join me on a journey to rediscover the joy you had when you started out or saw the first breakthrough. You CAN love your job again! I am currently offering 3 free coaching sessions to lead you to find what’s missing and start on a new adventure. Send me a direct message if you want to learn more.

Hello, all! I have a question regarding PDU requirements for RBTs. It was my understanding that any ACE provider event that a BCBA can attend for CEU credits would also count as PDU credits for RBTs. However, I am now seeing that some organizations are providing events that specifically have PDU listed rather than CEU GEN, ETH, or SUP. Does anyone know if the event has to have PDU listed to count for RBTs? Any guidance is greatly appreciated! (I also plan to reach out to the BACB).
