Summary
Dr. Jim Moore and I get back together to talk about a few specific client outcomes that we thought would be helpful for the audience to learn about.
In this podcast, we talked about:
- The general profile of learners across the Apollo clinics.
- They pace at which learners make progress in their programs.
- Skinner's Attitudes of Science.
- Universal Behavioral Protocols.
- The Seven Steps to Instructional Control.
- Rapport Building and Instructional Fading Prior to Discrete Trial Instruction: Moving From Child-Led Play to Intensive Teaching (Shillingsburg, et al., 2018).
- How Apollo's unique training approach contributes to increasing staff flexibility.
- PEAK training curricula implementation.
- The Gulf Coast ABA Conference, where Jim is talking more about RFT outcomes.
- Who is heavier, James Hetfield or Dave Mustaine?
- What are the P.R.I.D.E. skills Jim talked about?
- Some stories about insurance authorizations (towards the end).
- Whether our children are interested in Behavior Analysis.
Jim closes the show by sharing that he has other cases he could discuss. Please let us know if you want more of these stories!

| 0:31.5 | Great to see you, Matt. |
