Personally I have not attended one of Dr. Iwata’s workshops, but a number of my friends have, and they have reported that it was well worth the time and money.

John, I did a google search for “behavior analysis” and ended up here. Not quite sure how to explain it otherwise. However, I’ve been dreaming about starting a big community of behavioral bloggers… maybe one day?

And yes, I’m very honored to be under the guidance of Dr. Malott. I don’t think anyone lives by the principles of behavior more than he does.

Matt, thanks for the reply.

What searching actions led you to Behavior Mod Info? Not many folks find this site, so I’ll take help in how to make it more visible.

I like the posts on your site (e.g., about A. Kohn), and I envy your opportunity to study with Dick Malott.

Go!

John,

I’ve been searching the net for ages for bloggers with similar interests to mine. I’m a 1st year master’s student of applied behavior analysis at Western Michigan University. I’ve switched my blog topic from personal to discussion about ABA. Maybe you’ll find it interesting?

Seems a little too patronizing to me. Anyone else?

Comment on B-mod camps are problemsome by Sam Gong

Might be worth mentioning that this article speaks to the wrong people, though. Anyone with the sense to understand this article wouldn’t send their children to such places, to begin with.

Is the real problem these institutions, or the parents who’d outsource parenting? Truth is, the government can investigate all they want, but there’s no accountability for poor parenting.

Comment on Teacher beaten by Sam Gong

“Physical attacks against teachers, or school employees, apparently are rare in Gwinnett.”

This is very misleading. I grew up in Atlanta, and we’ve had a history some of the most violent public school systems…long before the media noticed the Columbine massacre.

There were kids in the late 80’s that held up the cafeteria at Grady HS with sawed-off shotguns, students had to walk through metal-detectors at North Fulton HS. A kid at North Atlanta got beaten within an inch of his life at the football fields during recess and just left unconscious for an entire class period before anyone did anything. Things like this may not be a daily occurrence, but it’s not an exaggeration to say violence happens on a weekly basis.

The week that Rodney King got beaten, all white kids were told by the faculty not to show up to class for at least a week.

Perhaps the most curious was during the early 90’s when kids weren’t allowed to bring any backpacks that weren’t transparent plastic or mesh (so that you couldn’t hide weapons.)
