Hey, everybody. Welcome to ABA inside track, the podcast that's like reading in your car, but safer.

I'm your host, Robert Perry Cruz, here to introduce

this week's special bonus episode. That's right. So typically ABA Inside Track is a podcast about

behavior analysis and behavior analytic research. And every week, we pick a topic and we review some

research and we discuss it just kind of like they would in an old-fashioned journal club.

But some weeks, because of a schedule or because we have some content that we think would be

fun for our listeners, we switch it up just a little bit.

And that's going to be one of these weeks where we have a special bonus episode.

So it's a little bit of a different format.

What you're going to be hearing very shortly is audio from a talk that we did at the

Thompson Center for Autism Conference this past October. The topic of the talk was on self-care

for BCBAs. Now, you will notice that as much as you love hearing maybe all three of us,

myself, Diana and Jackie, I unfortunately was not able to attend the conference this year.

So Jackie and Diana had to do all the hard work. They did an amazing job on the talk. So when I'm

done talking, you'll just get to hear them for pretty much the rest of the episode. So sit back,

relax, and enjoy ABA Inside Tracks talk on self-care from the Thompson Center conference.

Hi, everyone. Thank you so much, Kyle, for that introduction.

So we're really excited to be here today. Thank you for coming to our talk. I'm Diana Perry Cruz.

And I'm Jackie McDonald, and we're missing Rob Perry Cruz because work-life balance.

I'm just kidding.

He just couldn't come today.

So our host is missing, but we're here to represent.
