Oh, oh, why hello there?

Seems you've found me resting here on the beach and joining these last days of summer by doing, well, what you'd probably expect me to be doing, which is, of course, summer.

Yes, we're all very busy here, reading a lot of research articles

every week here on ABA Inside Track. Yes, me, Diana, and Jackie, all reading, reading,

but you know what? Summer is one of those times a year when we have a little bit of extra time.

We can just curl up, maybe, you know, by the lapping waves and read some great

books about behavior analysis. Join me, won't you? As we review Rob's summer reading list

2019. Oh boy. This summer was actually a really great season for books.

Had some nice time off, was able to just sit down and read a number of great books.

Why don't I tell you about them?

As we sit here, enjoying the sunset and think about all the fun behavior analysis of the past year.

Well, the first book that I had the chance to read this summer was flexible and focused by Dr. Adel Nijowski.

Now, you may have heard Adele on one of our bonus episodes talking about her presentation at the Thompson Center for Autism Conference last year.

And it was a fabulous talk, and Adele spent a lot of time showing video clips of her techniques

for teaching executive functioning skills to children with autism.

Now, one of the great things about watching all these videos was saying, wow, these videos

are great.

I can see these techniques.

I can see them working. I can't wait to try them. So when you get a book that pretty much will take those

techniques and sort of textualizes all of what was in the talk without the videos, is it really

going to do all these techniques justice? And you know what? They really did. The book really

provided just a great level of detail of all of these great techniques for teaching a variety of executive functioning skills.
