*It is in the client’s best interest for behavior analysts to include parents as active participants in implementing the behavior plan from the beginning. *

Welcome to ABA Ultimate Showdown - a podcast promoting constructive, respectful, and professional discourse to advance the field of behavior analysis. Round 2 of the Showdown is slightly less controversial but an important discussion for practitioners in the field. 

Our second topic covers when to include parents as active participants in implementing the behavior plan - from the beginning or after the staff has established instructional control.  

A lot of women hours went into this one researching, collaborating, publishing, and editing. During this debate, we construct arguments for both sides to present the audience with a comprehensive and balanced view.
