✦ THE BEHAVIOR TECHNICIAN MIXTAPE
The required behavior-technician foundation—flipped into 40 tracks with pop culture, real situations, and skills that still make sense when the session gets real. This is not background-noise training. Press play and come out ready.
THE BACKSTORY
This training is intended for people pursuing entry-level behavior technician roles. But entry-level should not mean underprepared. The Mixtape teaches the core ABA foundation through culture, music, pop culture, and real situations learners can picture, remember, and use when the session gets real.
We did not build it in a bubble either. We linked up with BCBA colleagues doing the work in different settings and asked what new technicians actually need after the course ends. Their field perspectives helped us bring more context, better examples, and a little “here’s what this really looks like” energy to the tracks.
And it is truly built like a mixtape. The 10 modules become the Prelude, eight Sides, and the Outro. Each Side holds its own lesson tracks, moving from foundations and ethics into assessment, teaching, behavior reduction, documentation, and applied practice. The names are fun; the sequence is intentional. Every track sets up the next one.
The field is bigger than one diagnosis, age group, building, or way of supporting people. Our examples move through homes, schools, community programs, adult day services, vocational settings, and other places behavior professionals may work across the lifespan.
Our digital-twin instructor, Nikki, keeps it moving. Her hair changes. Her outfits change. Her location changes. Pop-culture connections make concepts familiar, and the changing scenes keep a long online course from feeling like the same slide on repeat.
