Attending virtual @ABAIEvents this weekend. As a student I am so excited to learn from those in the field doing awesome, innovative things. Any session suggestions?
"I hope that instead, you choose to ground yourself in values that last."
Congrats to the high school Class of 2020, as well as to the teachers, coaches, and most of all, parents and family who’ve guided you along the way. Thanks for letting me be part of your big day!

Nothing brings out the feelings of imposter syndrome like studying for finals.
Awesome video on motivation. We spend so much time in public schools talking about motivation in ways that induce guilt and feelings of failure, and are not evidence based. Talk about empowering. Love the topic of self-control and self-management.
NEW VIDEO! buff.ly/2Yqo44Q How You're Looking For Motivation In The Wrong Place ;) #Motivation #ABA #BCBA #BehaviorAnalysis #Psychology PS - THAT WAS CLOSE! Whew! Day 1 of a 31-day straight self-challenge and I'm uploading at 10:00PM! Wish me better luck tomorrow

Remember when Colin Kaepernick was absolutely destroyed for kneeling during the anthem? I hear a lot more outrage over that than attempting to storm the Michigan House Chamber while armed...
There are no songs better on vinyl than Sweet Virginia by the Rolling Stones. There may be equals, but none better.
Sometimes I'll start a sentence, and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way. Like an improv conversation. An improversation. -Michael Donald Scott

Get a load of Dr. Birx's demeanor after Trump tells her, "I would like you to speak to the medical doctors to see if there's any way that you can apply light and heat to cure [coronavirus]."

This video reminds me of all the times I unfairly judged parents. I think of all the times I've seen it happen and not said something to stop it. No more. If you work with kids, take 3 minutes and watch this video. youtu.be/MyClJpztOSs

Just watched Dr. William Heward's presentation on behavior analysis' role in increasing sustainable practices. Amazing. "Knowing" about climate change isn't enough, changing behaviors that contribute to CC is the next frontier in the fight for our planet. youtu.be/GxjmFCuUync

I remembered I got to do this song with John Prine years ago. But I didn’t remember the intro...Sending love and peace and gratitude to John and Fiona.
