Summary

We are very excited to have Dr. Jim Carr, president of the BACB, joining us on this week's episode to discuss an area of research of which he is very passionate about: child welfare. Though many of us have a history of working with caregivers, few of us have done so in order to reunite children with their biological families. Dr. Carr shares some promising work of how behavior analysis can support these parents on a larger scale.

0:00.0	Hey, everybody. Welcome to ABA Inside Track, the podcast that's like reading in your car, but safer.
0:19.7	I'm your host, Robert Perry
0:21.0	Cruz, and with me as always is my fat, are my fabulous co-host. Sorry about the verb, verb tense
0:27.3	agreement issue there. Who do we got? Sorry. Hey, Rob. It's Diana. Hello, Rob. It's Jackie.
0:34.3	I'm sorry. I'm usually very good with grammar. It's usually something I take pride in. I one time had to do a whole training on grammar. I didn't have to. I'm sorry. I'm usually very good with grammar. It's usually something I take pride in.
0:38.6	I one time had to do a whole training on grammar. I didn't have to. I chose to. But, you know,
0:42.8	that's enough about grammar because that's not what we're talking about tonight. We are a podcast
0:46.2	about behavior analysis and behavior analytic research. Every week, we pick a topic in the field
0:51.8	and we share some great research. Some weeks we're even fortunate
0:56.1	enough to have a special guest. And tonight is one of those nights. We have the chance to sit down
1:01.3	and talk with Dr. Jim Carr. Jim Carr, you might know from the BACB or like a bazillion research
1:08.2	articles. And I think one of the things that is interesting when we

1:15.7	start talking about a topic that we had never even imagined was going to be something that
1:19.7	we would cover on this show when we first started recording. And I think tonight is definitely an
1:23.1	example of that because we're going to be talking all about child welfare and parent training related
1:29.3	to improving the reunification outcomes for families who are at risk for, you know, potentially
1:34.7	losing custody of their children. And this, again, was not something that at the time, I think,
1:40.1	we were aware was a field that behavior analysis had a lot of great, really hardworking
1:46.2	folks looking into and doing research and doing work and systems support for in a number of
1:53.3	states in America. And in talking to Dr. Carr, we learned all of that very awesome and exciting
1:58.9	information. So why don't we tell you what articles that
