In the world of Behavior Analysis, Rose Griffin is a unicorn of sorts, which is the unofficial mascot of those select few who hold both Speech Language Pathologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst credentials.\\xa0

For 20 years, Rose supported students in public school settings, but these days, she is concentrating on taking all the knowledge she\'s acquired and sharing it in the form of podcasts, online trainings and courses, and much more.\\xa0

In this interview, Rose and I discuss how she got into speech therapy and then behavior analysis, the challenges and benefits of collaboration, the subtleties of joint attention that many behavior analysts miss in our training programs, her awesome podcast, the Autism Outreach Podcast, and advice for newly-minted BCBAs.\\xa0

Rose and I also spend a few minutes nerding out over our mutual podcasting hero, Pat Flynn.\\xa0

Here are the links to the things we discussed:

Rose was kind enough to provide listeners with a\\xa030% discount\\xa0on\\xa0her courses\\xa0through December 1st, 2022. These courses include: The Advanced Language Learner, Help Me Find My Voice, and Start Communicating Today. Just use the promo code,\\xa0aba30, at checkout, and you\'ll be good to go.

Two footnotes to add:

First, I mistakenly noted in this interview that Rose was the first SLP/BCBA on the show. That honor goes to Dr. Barbara Esch, who appeared on a panel discussion for the\\xa0Verbal Behavior Conference.\\xa0

Second, in the spirit of transparency, I want to note that\\xa0ABASpeech.org\\xa0will be sponsoring several upcoming podcast episodes.\\xa0
