A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to find a few hours to catch up with many-time guest and all-around podcast fave, Dr. Greg Hanley. We had what turned out to be a lengthy conversation that included the following:

  • His recent professional association with Action Behavior Centers.
  • Available jobs at Action Behavior Centers.
  • The evolution of FTF Behavioral Consulting.
  • The term, Compassionate ABA, including some of my misgivings on whether terms like these are necessary.
  • The nuanced role of extinction in Skills Based Treatment.
  • Distinguishing between the immediate and long-term effects of reinforcement.
  • Efficacy vs. effectiveness.
  • Some historical perspectives on Functional Analysis, including the unexpected topic in which the term 'automatic reinforcement' was used.
  • Questioning the role of descriptive functional assessment.
  • Greg's recent thoughts on head-directed self-injury.
  • The role of tics in self-injury.
  • Skills-based treatment's intersection with constructional approaches to behavioral intervention.

If you think that's a lot, it's just a sample of what we talk about.

Here are the links to what we discussed:
