Mia Rayne's Journey: Part 2 of 2, Mia and Applied Behavioral Analysis

Part
1, Kari Porter talks about Applied Behavioral Analysis, ABA.  Kari describes ABA as, “… looking at the behaviors in which people are engaged.  Some may be problematic.  Others may be a skill we want to increase such as communication.  The objective is to maximize opportunities for positive growth.”

She goes further to describe how ABA helped Mia Smith to adopt a behavior necessary for her safety and social  development. “We designed a program to help Mia recognize and respond to a voice.  She was interested in several things.  But, if she was engaged in
something, a movie or some other media on her mobile tablet, even if one of her
favorite people said her name, she didn’t turn to look at them."

Part 2 Kari’s her experiences in being on both sides of the table concerning a student.  She worked for public schools and now aids parents and their kids in discussions with educators.

Mia and Applied Behavioral Analysis, Part 1 of 2 With Kari Porter, MS, BCBA

Kari Porter is one of the Board Certified Behavioral Analyst, BCBA, who helped with Mia during the timespan of Hope Comes in Pieces.  Kari represents one those persons who held a piece of the puzzle.  She helped develop a better picture of what is required for Mia to recover from the regression she suffered.

She is from Illinois.  She earned her Master of Science in Behavior Analysis and Therapy from Southern Illinois University.  As it turned out, we have a common associate, Jonathan C. Baker, PhD., BCBA-D, Faculty Specialist, Autism Center of Excellence, Western Michigan University.  She worked with him on Project 12 Ways when was an associate professor at Southern Illinois University.  I met him while working on a latency-based assessment project.

BCBAs, like Kari, designed and modified Mia’s developmental programs.  She looked specifically at Mia’s data to determine if there was progress toward the written targets.  If Mia made satisfactory progress according to the expectation, Kari usually kept the program the same.   If Mia didn’t progress, Kari was responsible for recommending modifications to improve outcomes.

Renee Ryan's Review of Leaving the Gravesite

"Leaving the Gravesite by Alford Kerry Hardy is a provocative, haunting insight into the mind of a cancer patient. The heroine’s choice to die alone leaves the reader with many unanswered questions. But Hardy does an excellent job of illuminating her reasons, by going back to the beginning of her life. This is a powerful story that sheds light on how a traumatic childhood experience can distort a person’s thinking as an adult. The heroine’s first brush with death leads her to believe her primary role as a mother is to spare her children the pain and, perhaps even, the loss of innocence she herself endured. Hardy is a master storyteller. Leaving the Gravesite is one not to be missed." Renee Ryan
