If you’re interested in learning more about Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) or want to discuss the science with other clinicians/students then you’re welcome to join us on Wednesday evenings at 9 p.m. EST on Twitter for #ABAchat!  The schedule is:

November 9, 2011 - function-based vs. topography-based interventions

November 16, 2011 - extinction technologies

November 23, 2011 - Individuals with ASD as ABA providers * (this chat may move to a Skype platform)

November 30, 2011 - direct instruction for teaching reading

December 7, 2011 - parent training, consultations in the home

December 14, 2011 - history of ABA; dimensions of ABA that are still current

December 21, 2011 - caseloads and service delivery

December 28, 2011 - BREAK (no chat this night)

This schedule is by no means set in stone, but it is the start of some of the topics other behaviour analysts wished to discuss.  There’s more topics for the new year (for example, I’d like to get into RFT and third-wave ABA).  If you decide to join us, follow the hashtag, #ABAchat and be sure to include the tag on any of your tweets.  

See you Wednesdays!
