Show Notes
Discover what’s possible when behavioral science is creatively broadcasted.
Have you ever heard of Applied Behavior Analysis? Have you ever wondered how it came to be used in autism services?
If you’re curious about the true story behind the origins of Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA for short, you’ll want to listen to this episode with Ryan O’Donnell, where he shares his passion for disseminating behavioral science.
Ryan O’Donnell is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, videographer, and entrepreneur. Through quick and easy-to-digest YouTube videos, he makes behavioral science publicly accessible so that people of all ages can experience their version of success.
In the summer of 2019, Ryan collaborated with the Global Autism Project to document our training approach and highlight our partners at Kaizora Center for Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, in Kenya. You can watch these videos on his YouTube channel, The Daily BA.
This episode with Ryan was first released in June of 2020. We’re re-releasing it today to celebrate the recent release of Ryan’s film The History of Applied Behavior Analysis, which is available for free exclusively at thebehavioracademy.com.
In this conversation, among other things, we discuss:
- A condensed history of behavioral science, from early controversial practices of behavior modification to modern ABA used in autism services
- Relatable examples of practical ABA in every day
- Ryan’s experiences working with the adult population
- Different services that are available for families
