What does it look like to integrate speech and language goals into Skill-Based Treatment?
If you've been trained in SBT and collaborate with, or work as, a Speech-Language Pathologist, this question probably comes up often.
We're happy to share a new on-demand course designed to answer it.
In this course, Dr. Kelsey Ruppel (Chief Clinical Officer, FTF Behavioral Consulting) and Kristen Stricks (BCBA & licensed SLP) walk through two SBT branch examples that incorporate SLP goals. For each example, they break down:
→ The learner's profile and communication needs
→ The specific branch steps and how they were designed
→ The reasoning behind each decision
By the end, you'll be able to identify at least two situations where it makes sense to embed speech or language goals within an SBT branch — and describe how to do it.
This course is a strong fit for BCBAs, SLPs, educators, and clinicians who already have SBT foundations and want to see what interdisciplinary collaboration looks like in practice.
Downloadable sample branches are included.

Assent-based practices are gaining traction in ABA — but what happens when responsiveness leads to learners missing out on services?
Our new on-demand course, Assent in Skill-Based Treatment: Recommendations and Common Pitfalls, addresses exactly that.
Presenters Gregory Hanley, Ph.D., BCBA-D, Holly Gover, Ph.D., BCBA-D, and Kelsey Ruppel, Ph.D., BCBA-D walk through:
✔ How to distinguish assent withdrawals from other learner behaviors
✔ How to structure SBT sessions with assent in mind
✔ How to problem-solve after an assent withdrawal — and set learners up for future participation
Designed for practitioners already familiar with SBT who want to implement assent-based practices with confidence and consistency.
