Did you ever notice how hard it is to get from place to place? Is it the fact that your new location just isn't as much fun as your starting point? Is it that dawdling is its own reward? Or could it be some sort of existential crisis concerning the movement of your body through space and time as we all hurtle through space towards total entropy? This week we talk about challenging behavior around transitioning from place to place. We review a classic analysis of the function of SIB during transitions and get a glimpse into how our new computer overlords will make us all more efficient students as we move about the classroom. Invariably we wander from tangent to tangent: our favorite transition of all!

0:00.0	Welcome to ABA Inside Track, the podcast that's like reading in your car, but safer.
0:19.5	I'm your host, Robert Perry Cruise, and this is episode 18, moving from A to B and Problems with Transitions. I'm here with my fabulous co-hosts as well. I'm Diana. And I'm Jackie. Hey, everyone. Hi. I'm really proud of you guys, because if you didn't notice, I changed my SD for when you're supposed to come in.
0:38.8	I put in a different order. So you're really paying attention to that key component.
0:43.3	You're the word co-host. You're moving. It's good job. I tune out until then.
0:48.5	I eat M&Ms.
0:50.2	Well, as I said at the beginning, today we are talking about transition-related problem behavior, or issues with transition, I guess, more specifically.
1:01.0	For those of you who are new to our show, we are a podcast in which we read research on behavior analytic topics, and then we discuss it.
1:08.8	Sort of like, you know, an old-fashioned journal club
1:11.7	get-together brew ha ha. You know, like you do. Like you do. In case you don't, in case you

1:39.6	I think a lot of time, the reason we discuss it as being an issue,
1:42.9	is this sort of uncertainty, and children with disabilities, specifically autism, have an uncertainty
1:44.5	about transitioning.
1:46.2	And while that could be the case, it's not always the function of their behavior to escape
1:53.0	some sort of uncertainty in life with a transition.
1:56.3	There's an article that is on the website, but we did not, we're not going to be discussing
2:00.6	it tonight, but it's advance notice for transition-related problem behavior, colon, practice
2:05.5	guidelines by Brewer Strickland Cohen, Dotson, and Williams in behavior analysis and practice
2:10.6	2014.
