The Residency Notes

Occasional notes on clinical reasoning. Not a newsletter. Not a funnel.

The BCBA Residency is a 21-chapter clinical reasoning curriculum for behavior analysts, currently under university review.

Most ABA training teaches concepts. This teaches judgment: how experienced clinicians actually think through treatment planning, prioritization, and the decisions between two competent BCBAs.

The Notes go out when there is something worth saying — roughly monthly, sometimes less. Each one is a single question worked through properly. Nothing is for sale here.

If you are faculty and want to review chapters for your program, reply to any note and say so.
