Do you sometimes scratch your head as you watch a caregiver or colleague attempt to execute what you taught them and wonder, is that really what they thought I meant? Joann Sorg, MS, OTR/L, Assistant Director of CE here at ERI, recently wrote an article for the National Association of Neonatal Therapists (NANT) outlining various teaching methods to help improve outcomes when working with colleagues and caregivers. Check out the blog below to read about various ideas and strategies to improve carryover in your practice.

What's the key to driving better outcomes in ABA? Active Parent/Caregiver participation, real-time communication, and collaboration among the Care Team. Obviously, the most significant factor is services being delivered by competent technicians, behavior analysts, and other clinicians, but we're wasting valuable time if we don't fully engage parents and collaborate with other members of the care team as partners in our service delivery system. For years, I have been seeking a technology solution to help address this issue. In partnership with BeMe, an amazing integrated platform developed by a scientist-mom who created it to solve her own challenges, we have created a one-of-a-kind solution to perfectly address this need. BeMe, powered by Special Learning, is designed to be more than just a tool—it’s a comprehensive solution that includes over $1,000 in Special Learning's training, curriculum, and educational resources to empower the entire care team.   Here’s Why BeMe is a Must Have tool:   Real-Time Tracking: Effortlessly monitor a child’s activities, behaviors, and health, giving you the insights you need exactly when you need them. Seamless Communication: Real-time communication for the entire care team, ensuring everyone involved is aligned and informed. Empowering Resources: Parent Training, RBT Training, Curriculum, Social Stories, Visual Schedules, Token Economy Systems, eBooks and other resources to empower the entire care team. Customized Insights: Receive recommendations and insights that are not only data-driven but also tailored to a child’s specific journey. Individualized Care: BeMe is designed to integrate every facet of your child’s daily life, creating a cohesive plan that evolves with them. Sarah Glofcheskie, MBA and I poured our hearts into creating this unique solution to support the global ABA community. I invite you to take a look at what we've created.

Healthcare professionals, do you remember what you were taught about how to deal with grief over your patients when you were in training? So much of healthcare culture has held up stoicism as strength, and pegged grief as something that just gets in the way of "real work." But what is healthcare, if not human work at the core? Tomorrow, I'll be presenting an online Grand Rounds for Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) on "Supporting Learners Experiencing Grief," together with the incredible Hadley Bloomhardt and Sarah Tremallo, LCSW from Boston Children's Hospital. We are proposing a different way of training and supporting our youngest clinicians in healthcare. We can be human. This can be a path towards higher quality healthcare, and more sustainable journeys as professional caregivers. We can care for ourselves and each other differently. I am full of hope.
