Scott Geller\, PhD: Improving Well-Being and Life Satisfaction with Humanistic Behaviorism: From Managing Behavior to Leading People\n				Improving Well-Being and Life Satisfaction with Humanistic Behaviorism: From Managing Behavior to Leading People\nAbstract:\nThe term “humanistic behaviorism” was popular in the 1970’s\, but has rarely been used since. However\, B.F. Skinner affirmed in 1978 that “behaviorism makes it possible to achieve the goals of humanism more effectively.” Relatedly\, the presenter has combined fundamentals of behaviorism (e.g.\, positive reinforcement\, observational learning\, and behavior-based feedback) with select principles from humanism (e.g.\, empathy\, self-determination theory\, and Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs) to enhance and sustain positive relations between teachers and students\, parents and children\, work supervisors and employees\, and between police officers and the citizens they serve. The presenter claims that effective leaders practice humanistic behaviorism\, in contrast to managers who essentially hold people accountable with extrinsic contingencies. \nThis presentation will review the presenter’s attempts to improve human welfare on a large scale—first with applied behavioral science\, and subsequently with humanistic behaviorism—leading to his belief that “humanism makes it possible to achieve the goals of behaviorism more effectively.” Domains of application to be highlighted from the presenter’s 50 years of intervention development and evaluation include: environmental preservation\, prison management for death-row inmates\, vehicle safety and road rage\, occupational health and safety\, and the cultivation of an actively-caring-for-people (AC4P) culture in educational facilities\, organizations\, and the community at large (see www.ac4p.org and www.gellerac4p.com. \nLearning Objectives\nParticipants will be able to: \n\n\nDefine select principles from humanism that need to be practiced by ABA therapists working with individuals\, organizations\, and communities\nParticipate as a leader of the worldwide Actively Caring for People (AC4P) Movement\nExplain practical differences between management and leadership with real world examples\n\n\nPresenter Bio:\nScott Geller\, Ph.D. is an Alumni Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology at Virginia Tech. For 50 years\, Professor Geller has taught and conducted research as a faculty member and Director of the Center for Applied Behavior Systems at Virginia Tech. He has authored\, coauthored\, or edited 49 books\, 88 book chapters\, 38 training manuals\, 270 magazine articles\, and over 300 research articles addressing the development and evaluation of applied behavioral science interventions to improve quality of life. His most recent 700-page textbook: Applied Psychology: Actively Caring for People\, defines Dr. Geller’s entire research\, teaching\, and scholarship career at Virginia Tech\, which epitomizes the VT logo: Ut Prosim–“That I May Serve”. He has received lifetime achievement awards from the International Organizational Behavior Management Network (in 2008) and the American Psychological Foundation (in 2009). In 2011\, the College of Wooster awarded Dr. Geller the Honorary Degree: Doctor of Humane letters. Scott Geller received a prestigious teaching award in 1982 from the American Psychological Association\, and since then he has received every university-wide teaching award offered at Virginia Tech. In 2005\, he was awarded the statewide Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award by the State Council of Higher Education\, and that year Virginia Tech conferred the title of Alumni Distinguished Professor on him. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Janet Twyman\, PhD\, BCBA\, LBA: Virtual Supervision Doesn’t Have to Mean You’re Distant: Making Remote Supervision Meaningful\n				Virtual Supervision Doesn’t Have to Mean You’re Distant: Making Remote Supervision Meaningful\nGet Presentation\nAbstract: \nWhether due to distance\, availability\, or time constraints\, supervisors now regularly oversee the work of behavioral service providers who are primarily based in other locations. One of the biggest challenges facing supervisors today is working with remote supervisees. Recognizing the challenges faced by remote work\, developing protocols to enhance remote supervision\, and using tools to support the process can improve the quality of services provided and encourage learning and performance satisfaction for staff at all levels. The use of digital technologies means that observations and meetings no longer need to be in person to facilitate communication\, strengthen relationships\, and improve outcomes. Professional support activities achieve best outcomes when they are underpinned by established frameworks and educational principles. After discussing caveats and concerns\, this presentation will share best practices concerning the role of technology and communication tools in shaping\, monitoring\, and measuring staff progress and overcoming the drawbacks of distance usually faced in remote supervision. \nObjectives: \n\nParticipants will identify at least 3 barriers associated with remote supervision and measurable methods to overcome them.\nParticipants will be able to list at least 3 caveats or concerns regarding the use of digital technologies in remote supervision.\nParticipants will take part in the demonstration of at least 3 digital tools to support remote supervision and consider their use within the setting in which they work.\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Janet Twyman is an education innovator\, thought leader\, and founder of blast: a learning sciences company. She’s also the Director of Innovation and Technology for the Center on Innovations in Learning\, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Univ. of Mass. Medical School\, and formerly the Vice President of Instructional Development\, Research\, & Implementation at Headsprout.

She has presented to and worked with education systems\, organizations\, and institutions over 40 states and countries\, including speaking about technologies for diverse learners and settings at the United Nations. In 2007-08 she served as the President of the Association for Behavior Analysis and in 2014 was named an ABAI Fellow. For her distinguished contributions to educational research and practice she received the 2015 Wing Award for Evidence-based Education and the 2017 American Psychological Association Division 25 Fred S. Keller Behavioral Education Award. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Rob Holdsambeck\, EdD\, LCP\, BCBA-D: Supervision: Flying Over Kansas Thinking About OZ\n				Supervision: Flying Over Kansas Thinking About Oz\nGet Presentation\nAbstract:\nThe movie version of Frank Baum’s classic 1900’s children’s novel (The Wizard of Oz\, Warner Brothers\, 1939) has been analyzed for decades from various angles.  There are archetypes like Glenda the good witch and Toto the trickster\, yellow brick roads (i.e.\, golden path that lead to hopes and dreams)\, a false wizard\, and a long treatise on courage\, intelligence\, and heart. In the end\, the journey showed how weathering storms and pursuing dreams can produce positive outcomes. This is of course unless the flying monkeys and fields of poppies get you first. \nThe journey of supervision can be viewed as a parallel experience to those that Dorothy and her peers experienced in The Wizard of Oz. Providing a structure for leadership and supervision in the fields of clinical psychology and applied behavior analysis can be a challenge.  It takes weathering adversity\, surrounding yourself with the right friends\, following the right path\, and valuing diversity.  In this talk I will cover some strategies for providing supervision in challenging environments both in my current practice of ABA and my past work as a clinical psychologist. \nLearning Objectives:\nParticipants will be able to: \n\n\nList two archetypes from the movie The Wizard of Oz that relate to their current practice in either ABA or clinical psychology and how they help or hinder their work\nList two benefits to creating and maintaining a diverse workplace\nList two exemplars of workplace poppy fields in their current or potential work environment\n\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Holdsambeck is a licensed psychologist with over 40 years of clinical experience delivering services to people with developmental disabilities\, including those on the autism spectrum. He was one of the first to become board certified in behavior analysis (#0007).

He was selected as the 2010 distinguished colleague by the Chicago School of Professional Psychology’s Department of Applied Behavior Analysis. In 2011\, he received the outstanding service award from the Cambridge Center for his work in bringing evidence-based practices to California. Dr. Holdsambeck is an author and frequent keynote speaker at national and state conferences.  His most recent publications are the highly acclaimed books\, Behavior Science: Tales of Inspiration\, Discovery\, and Service (Holdsambeck and Pennypacker Eds.\, 2017\, Volumes I -3 and Omnibus).  In addition to the activities mentioned above\, Dr. Holdsambeck is currently serving\, pro bono\, as the Executive Director of the prestigious Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies™. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Florence D. DiGennaro Reed\, PhD\, BCBA-D\, LBA: Performance Management in Service Settings\n				Performance Management in Service Settings\nAbstract\nPerformance management involves the application of behavioral principles to manage the performance of staff. Despite serving as effective change agents for clients\, behavior analysts often struggle with motivating and supporting the staff they supervise. This presentation will describe evidence-based performance management procedures and share experimental data and case studies supporting the effectiveness of a behavior analytic approach to staff training and professional development. The presentation will emphasize resource-efficient efforts to produce behavior change of staff. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\n\nDescribe why targeting staff performance is important\nIdentify and describe the components of behavioral skills training and an evidence-based approach to performance management of staff\nDiscuss results of studies evaluating the components of behavioral skills training\n\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Florence DiGennaro Reed\, a board certified behavior analyst\, received a doctorate in school psychology from Syracuse University. She also completed a clinical post-doctoral fellowship at the Institute for Child Development and a pre-doctoral internship in clinical psychology at the May Center for Education and Neurorehabilitation and the May Center for Child Development.

This issue of supervision has broad implications to the entire practice of behavior analysis\, including the supervision of students\, parents\, teachers\, and candidates for BACB certification. Competent supervision is recognized as a crucial area for maximizing professionalism in the people we train and\, ultimately\, client outcomes.  This presentation will review the code section describing the components of effective supervision\, describe the importance of competent supervision\, and specific strategies for enhancing the quality of supervision. These topics will be explored from both the perspective of the supervisor as well as the supervisee. Case examples will be offered\, to illustrate the ‘real-life’ nature of supervision difficulties and ways to solve them. \nLearning Objectives:\nParticipants will be able to: \n\n\nDescribe the section of the ethical code regarding supervision\nDescribe a minimum of 5 supervision difficulties or bad practice\, each from the perspectives of supervisor and supervisee\nProvide ethical and reasonable solutions to specific supervision problems presented\n\n\nPresenter Bio:\nDr. Thomas Zane is the Director of Online Behavior Analysis programs in the Department of Applied Behavioral Science at the University of Kansas.
