The Behavior Breakdown

Hello to all the parents, educational professionals, caretakers, and overall knowledge seekers out there! My name is Lynette Elizabeth and I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. As a current BCBA practitioner, my primary duties focus on conducting initial assessments, developmental assessments, and initial treatment programs for new clients. Throughout my 10 years of experience, I have always been astonished at how much information is circulating out in the world, and how little of that information makes its way to dedicated parents who don't know where to turn when they desperately need help with their struggling kiddos. I have gained a unique perspective of the fear, guilt, and apprehension parents endure when approaching treatment for their children who show developmental delays. Most everyone in the mental health field is full of compassion and yearn to help as many individuals as possible, but with the increasing demand for our services, I have found many families being placed on hold for months awaiting the availability of services. It has been increasingly frustrating for me as a practitioner as well! My only hope is to help as many individuals as I can. That being said, I have designed this podcast to optimistically provide insight into the world of behavior analysis, focusing on common topics and questions I get from parents in the hopes that while many of you don’t have immediate access to answering your questions, you will find support and insight with The Behavior Breakdown. I developed The Behavior Breakdown podcast to create a safe place for parents, professionals, and knowledge seekers alike to access behavioral information, compiled into easily digested episodes. My hope is that a catalogue of foundational information about childhood development, the reality of developmental delays, and the in's and out's of treatment strategies, will provide you all with the tools needed to make the best decision you can for your families.
