Manage episode 355351318 series 3373569
Liz Maher is a behavior analyst and a mom. Her oldest daughter, Sarah, was diagnosed with autism back in 1998. In addition to supporting her own daughter’s education and development, Liz also became a BCBA. She worked for close to 15 years supporting Pennsylvania school teachers in applying behavioral analytic principles in their classrooms. Along with her husband Steve, Liz founded a company called DataMTD, which produces online applications for two of the most widely used assessments in verbal behavior: the VB-MAPP app for Dr. Mark Sundberg, as well as the EFL app for Dr. Patrick McGreevy.
Liz and I begin our discussion by talking about her personal journey and what led her into the field of ABA. We then talk about her current work with her husband and how their apps are making teachers’ lives easier when it comes to behavior tracking, analysis, and assessments. Liz and I also discuss how ABA has changed and evolved over the years, stories Liz has from her experiences in the classroom, and suggestions on how we can make the world better through behavior analysis.
What’s Inside:
- Liz’s personal journey and how she got into the field of ABA.
- How Liz and her husband are helping teachers with their apps.
- Thoughts on how to make the world better through ABA.
