Summary

Let’s get down to some nuts and bolts treatment updates this week with one of the most common maintaining variables for problem behavior: escape! We’ll start off with a podcast favorite in the form of a treatment-choice flowchart then add in our combined near-60 years of experience with some illustrative case examples to model how to judge which treatment is right for your client. It’s like a day hanging out at the ABA Inside Track offices…if we weren’t podcasting, that is.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
