The summer is upon us but there is still lots to discuss regarding Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).  #ABAchat will pare down its schedule and move to a bi-weekly format.  Starting this month, we are also featuring a ‘Journal Club’ aspect to the chat where we will review a seminal article in the field or the latest research in ABA. This will occur the last Wednesday of the month and we invite participants to suggest articles and/or volunteer to moderate the discussion. The second Wednesday of the month will be a selected topic; again, as suggested by our participants.  

If you do not see a twitter handle listed as a moderator, please consider offering to moderate.

And here we go….
