What happens when lived experience meets clinical expertise? In this episode of Tim Talks: ABA Therapy, host Tim Zercher sits down with Sean Yocum—ABA clinician, podcast host, baseball coach, and passionate advocate for family-centered care in behavior analysis.
Sean shares how growing up with an autistic sibling shaped his drive to reform the field. From questioning outdated clinical standards to pushing for purpose-driven company culture, Sean doesn't hold back.
You’ll hear:
- Why generalization and caregiver training must become the new gold standard
- How shaping applies far beyond therapy sessions—even on the baseball field
- What’s broken about current KPIs in ABA (and what to do instead)
- Why prioritizing purpose over perks is essential for fixing staff burnout
This episode is bold, candid, and deeply practical—exactly what the ABA world needs.
