What an incredible example of the Tampa Police Department reinforcing a different type of “takeover” behavior (or DRA for the behavior nerds 🤓!!

Great job Tampa PD! We hope the the teens show up! Please share if you’re in the Tampa Bay Area. 💗

Teens, do you need somewhere to be tomorrow night? We got you.

Come out to Takeover with a Purpose for music, games, prizes, food, and so much more.

The fun begins at 8:00 p.m. at the NFL Yet Center (3310 E Lake Ave).

We'll see you there!

The advice I give as a seasoned behavior analyst 🦕 and the in the moment actions of a mama of a spicy toddler sometimes clashes.

Let's talk about how to be specific in our requests today! Whenever our children are engaging in an action that they should not be doing (real life example: eating the pancake batter with raw eggs), instead of "don't do that" we can switch to what TO DO instead like "Hands on your lap" OR during breakfast shenanigans: "Hands on the table".

A super "simple" shift for parents that's not always easy to remember in the moment and I'm practicing every day too 💕

Let me brag about one of my guys today! 🥰 Since going back into direct therapy, my schedule has been a (tad) bit hectic BUT let me tell you when I get to hear my parents report of what happens in "the real world"... it makes it 1000% worth it.

One of my parents shared that last week, they attended a birthday party .... Yes, one of those scenarios where we need to think about all of those environmental stressors and the prime overstimulation that comes with them. However, my guy handled it like a champ! Mom reported that not only was he able to navigate this completely novel location and unfamiliar people, he was also able to tap another child on the shoulder and ask for a turn to join in on a game they were playing.

Moments like this are EVERYTHING! Because the goal isn’t just progress during sessions — it’s seeing those skills come to life in everyday experiences. I am so proud of you 💕
