Editor\'s Note:

I generally publish three episodes a month, but I wanted to share this bonus, fourth episode with you as I know there will be a lot of people embarking on road trips in the coming days. As such, I\\u2019ve chosen one of my earliest interviews to re-release, and it\\u2019s my first interview with Dr. Pat Friman (originally released in August of 2016!?!?), who as many of you know, went on to appear in several more Behavioral Observations Episodes.

What I will say though is that if you\\u2019re listening to this re-release of Session 10 shortly after it is published, that there is a\\xa0huge CEU\\xa0sale going on right now. These huge discounts that are available now through November 27th. And if you\\u2019re catching this show after the sale is over, I usually have a few different discounts going so it\\u2019s worth checking out no matter when you hear this.\\xa0

And speaking of Pat Friman, three of his\\xa0later appearances\\xa0on the show are indeed eligible for CEUs, so if you enjoy his message and want to hear more of it, and earn CEUs along the way, then this sounds like a win-win.

In Session 10 of\\xa0The Behavioral Observations Podcast, I speak with none other than\\xa0Dr. Pat Friman. Pat is the Vice President of Behavioral Health Services at\\xa0Boys Town\\xa0as well as a Clinical Professor of Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Nebraska School of Medicine.

In today\'s show, Pat tells the story of how he literally wandered into a career in Behavior Analysis as well as the remarkable story of how Boys Town was started and how it serves children and families today. We then talk about his point of view on functional assessment practices, how he interviews parents, his take on what we refer to as, "kids these days," and Behavior Analysts as parents. With regard to the latter, I accidentally broach some of my own parenting struggles, so you might have some fun at my expense (your welcome).

If you enjoyed the show, please share it with friends and colleagues!
