Friday night, I sat and recorded about half of what I am calling the "ACE-ing CEUs" course! Now that OpenCEU has made it possible for anybody to hop in and host a CEU or post a recording, my next priority is helping all the people in this group find their niche and create amazing content. One of the ways I want to do that is through this free course, ACE-ing CEUs. I've been an ACE Provider for close to 6 years now, and in September alone, I got over 4,000 5-star ratings on my CEUs. I'm putting all that knowledge into this CEU community and hoping to make each one of you an amazing ACE Provider as well! The first two modules are live now, and by the end of the two modules, you will have not only a complete understanding of what it takes to be an ACE Provider but will hopefully have created your first presentation as well. There is much more coming in this course, so stay tuned! I'll continue posting in this community as it grows. This course is in my sister community, "The Creator Lab" which you can access at the link below! https://www.skool.com/openceu-creator-lab-9796/classroom/327ac775?md=2445aa87337141c992753c4e7fe637e3

Welcome in to all the new folks! Put in the comments the #1 research article you think other behavior analysts should read!

Nobody taught me how to supervise. I got certified, got assigned supervisees, and figured it out as I went. Most of us did. That means supervision looks different from one BCBA to the next. Each of us invents our own approach from scratch. No shared structure, no consistency, lots of guesswork. Lauren Donovan is teaching a free live CEU on this Wednesday at noon ET: Building a Supervision System That Actually Works. It's about turning supervision from a weekly meeting into a real system. Organized, consistent, prepared. If you supervise anyone, it's worth your lunch break. 1 free CEU for attending live. https://openceu.com/live/5bc27fea-564a-46cf-978a-256e305abbff

The scariest thing in ABA right now isn't the criticism from outside. It's how many assessments come out looking identical no matter the kid. If the plan would fit any child on your caseload, it wasn't really an assessment. We can do better than a template.

I spent $90k and passed a board exam to make clinical decisions. So it stings when a scheduling dashboard makes them for me. I get it. Companies need operations. Scheduling is hard. Utilization pays the bills. But there's a line. Who a client sees. How many hours they get. When services end. Those are clinical calls, and they belong to the clinician who holds the case. If you run a company: your BCBAs want to work with you, not around you. Put a clinician in every room where clinical calls get made. That one change would keep more of us in the field than any pizza party ever will.
