It is critical for practicing behavior analysts to remain in contact with the scholarly literature. In fact, behavior analysts who are certified and/or licensed likely have an ethical obligation and requirement to maintain their skills and knowledge and to accrue continuing education hours. Despite that, finding time to connect with research and other important scholarly work can be a significant challenge for professionals. APBA to the rescue! Our monthly Journal Club highlights peer-reviewed works relevant to your professional activities. Articles are presented by at least one of the article’s authors and give you a chance to ask questions about the article and how to put strategies into practice. These meetings will not be available for on-demand purchase after the fact. Individuals registered for the live event who have a last minute scheduling conflict or who loose connection during the live event must email Keil@apbahome.net within 2 days after the event date to request access to a recording (the recording must be viewed and CEU questions completed within 30 days).

This month we are featuring the article titled Functional Analysis of Problem Behavior: A 40‐year Review presented by Isaac Melanson and Dr. Tara Fahmie. The presenter will walk us through the article with a particular focus on practical application of strategies and considerations for implementation. Attendees will be able to submit questions ahead of time and throughout the presentation.
