In Session 25, Dr. Jim Carr, CEO of The Behavior Analysis Certification Board, came on the podcast and gave us an overview of what could be considered "the state of the practice." That was roughly one year ago, and Jim was gracious enough to return in Session 49, and in this episode, he provides us an update on recent happenings and initiatives at the BACB.

Here are some things we got into:

1. The recent changes with regard to ownership of the Verified Course Sequence process.
2. The top three most frequently reported ethics violations.
3. How task list items are identified and updated.
4. Jim's issue with rebranding Behavior Analysis as "Behavioral Science."
5. What growth problems still lie ahead for our practice.
6. The BACB's "Diversity of Practice" initiative.
   

Also, because I know many of you will ask, here is the Brodhead, Quigley, and Cox (2018) article on Identifying Ethical Practices in Organizations prior to employment that Jim mentioned.
