Are you passionate about Applied Behavior Analysis and committed to staying at the forefront of evidence-based practices, Look no further than Special Learning, your premier destination for a vibrant and collaborative online ABA learning community in our monthly Journal Club.
In our June Journal Club presented by Dr. Britany Melton we will explore “Leading with Compassion: A Discussion and Steps Forward for Behavior Analysts”.
Overview:
Join us for a thought-provoking Journal Club session where we explore the essential role of compassion in the delivery of behavior analytic services. Based on the article by Melton, Marchese, and Weiss, this session highlights the growing need to define, teach, and evaluate compassionate care skills within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The discussion emphasizes how compassion can—and should—be integrated into daily practice, especially at the RBT level, to strengthen relationships, enhance client outcomes, and promote ethical and socially valid interventions.
Participants will examine current literature, practical examples, and tools that help operationalize compassionate interactions. We will also discuss barriers to compassionate care and identify strategies for enhancing these critical soft skills in supervision, service delivery, and interprofessional collaboration.
Who Should Attend:
- Board Certified Behavior Analysts and RBT Supervisors
- Registered Behavior Technicians
- Professionals delivering or supervising ABA services
- Educators and clinicians working with individuals with autism
- Anyone interested in improving the social validity and relational quality of behavioral interventions
