Ep. 66 - Understanding Applied Behavior Analysis with Dr. Maria Gilmour

We are thrilled today to discuss with Dr. Maria Gilmour a topic we often hear or read about but may not fully understand - Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Dr. Gilmour will explain what ABA is and how it is used in practice. She will also discuss with us the contrasting ways in which ABA has seen pushback and can also be viewed as accessible and flexible for parents. Finally, we hope to leave parents with key words and information to understand if you are interested in ABA. Dr. Maria Gilmour has been professionally working with families for the past 20 years.  Dr. Gilmour is an educator, author of “Seven Superpowers” and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who has extensive experience consulting with parents and families, teachers, educational leaders, and school administrators in both public and non-public programs for educating children and adults with special needs. She is well known for her creative approach to cross-disciplinary collaboration. You can learn more about Dr. Gilmour on sevensuperpowers.com or on Facebook @ sevensuperpowers
