Abstract
Practitioners of Applied Behavior Analysis work with a great many people in various settings. Our work leads us to form relationships with our students and clients, their technicians, their families, and other allied health professionals. Each of these relationships is unique and important. An analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, from students of behavior analysis, will illustrate the impact of what they learned on their day-to-day lives. We are often teaching more than we realize, and also have much to learn. I argue that we need to frequently evaluate our own social skills as therapists, mentors, and practitioners of Applied Behavior Analysis. This presentation will ask you to think critically about the relationships you have in your practice and suggest some key behaviors you can develop to improve your relationship skills.
