- Welcome to ABA Ultimate Showdown - a podcast promoting constructive, respectful, and professional discourse to advance the field of behavior analysis.
- Round 4 of the Showdown attempts to respectfully cover the much debated topic of restraints. Since this topic is so controversial within and outside of our field, we were very careful about our wording and opinions. We cover primarily mechanical and physical restraints and whether or not it’s appropriate to use on our clients to keep them and their surrounding family and staff safe.
- A lot of women hours went into researching, collaborating, publishing, and editing this episode. During this debate, we construct arguments for both sides to present the audience with a comprehensive and balanced view.

Hilarious Definitions of Behavior Analytic Terms (or Preview for Round 4)
Welcome to ABA Ultimate Showdown - a podcast promoting constructive, respectful, and professional discourse to advance the field of behavior analysis. While we are finishing up the final details of Round 4, we wanted to give you a comical reminder of why it is important to use every day language when we are working with clients. The theme of this preview is, 'Leave your behavior analytic jargon at the door! Speak to and for the people!" This was a truly collaborative effort of my incredible family and contributing members of the CoBA Facebook group. Thank you to all!

Round 5: Are We Providing Super-vision or Just Okay-vision?
Welcome to ABA Ultimate Showdown - a podcast promoting constructive, respectful, and professional discourse to advance the field of behavior analysis. Round 5 of the Showdown will debate whether or not the current BACB supervisory system is sufficient to train effective behavior analysts. We draw analogies to other disciplines, discuss how autonomy and variation affect the supervisory experience, and debate whether or not the system takes advantage of supervisees. We conducted our own survey with 134 respondents. A lot of women hours went into researching, collaborating, publishing, and editing this episode. During this debate, we construct arguments for both sides to present the audience with a comprehensive and balanced view.
