Summary

In Session 25, Dr. Jim Carr, CEO of The Behavior Analysis Certification Board, came on the podcast and gave us an overview of what could be considered "the state of the practice." That was roughly one year ago, and Jim was gracious enough to return, and in this episode, he provides us an update on recent happenings and initiatives at the BACB. Here are some things we got into: The recent changes with regard to ownership of the Verified Course Sequence process. The top three most frequently reported ethics violations. How task list items are identified and updated. Jim's issue with rebranding Behavior Analysis as "Behavioral Science." What growth problems still lie ahead for our practice. The BACB's "Diversity of Practice" initiative. Even though this episode was extremely long, we managed to squeeze in a listener question or two as well. Also, because I know many of you will ask, here is the Brodhead, Quigley, and Cox (2018) article on Identifying Ethical Practices in Organizations prior to employment that Jim mentioned. Finally, this episode is brought to you by the following sponsors: HRIC, which brings 30 years of recruiting experience to help BCBA's find their dream jobs.

1:07.4	Good. Thanks for having me, Matt. The pleasure is mine. You know, you have the distinct privilege, or excuse me, the distinct honor, I should say, of being the most popular guest on the Behavioral Observations podcast, not named Greg Hanley.
1:24.5	So you come in number four, given that the first three most downloaded
1:30.0	episodes are all Gregs. I'll take it. Yeah, yeah. That's not a bad place to be, I would imagine.

2:16.2	One of the things that we wanted to talk about was a new verified course sequence.
2:22.4	So I guess my general question as it relates to that is kind of like, what's the big deal?
