Does your child hold it together all day at school, only to explode the minute they walk through the front door? 🚪💥

This is called Post-School Restraint Collapse. After hours of masking and keeping up with high sensory demands, home is the safe space where their nervous system finally unloads. As an Educational Psychologist, I’ve put together a guide on how to create a restorative "landing zone" after school.

👉 Comment GUIDE below and I’ll send the guide over to you!

Weeks of prompting. Full physical, then partial, then just a gesture. Then a model. Then... nothing. And he did it independently. 💜

This is the whole job — fading ourselves out so they can shine on their own.

📊 BCBA Exam Prep: Mastering Interobserver Agreement (IOA)

IOA is one of those topics that seems simple—until the exam asks you to choose between Total Count IOA, Mean Count-per-Interval IOA, Exact Count-per-Interval IOA, and Trial-by-Trial IOA!

My quick rule:

✅ Total Count IOA → Compare session totals
✅ Mean Count-per-Interval IOA → Average smaller/larger ratios across intervals
✅ Exact Count-per-Interval IOA → Count intervals with exact matches only
✅ Trial-by-Trial IOA → Agreement on occurrence/nonoccurrence for each trial

🎯 BCBA Exam Tip:
Don’t memorize formulas alone. Learn the keywords that signal which IOA method the question is asking for.

Reliable data = Better decisions = Better client outcomes.
