Elevating your practice to support human rights and autonomy!

The Happy Medium Approach (HMA) is a flexible behavior analytic approach.  The frameworks within the approach have multiple purposes and can truly allowing practitioners to individualize services to the individual and their contexts.  

Clinicians can use the frameworks in HMA with other interventions, including: 

• SBT/PFA
• PRT
• DTT
• Incidental Teaching 
• Precision Teaching

There is significant flexibility across assessments as well: 

• Vineland 
• BASC
• SSIS
• PEAK
• VB-MAPP
• ABLLS
• Skill Streaming 

Not only can HMA support clinicians in meeting individuals where they are to move them towards their values, but you can enhance your staff experiences too using the frameworks in HMA!

• Staff retention 
• Staff burnout 
• Imposter syndrome
• Company values 
• Individual values 
• Practicing from a lens of Psychological Flexibility
• Providing and receiving Feedback 
• Optimizing and individualizing supports across staff 

What is Your Company's Ethical Ripple? 

The field of Applied Behavior Analysis is at a crossroads, do we stay the course or elevate our practice?  The Happy Medium Approach is moving to elevate your practice! 

When applying a science to humans, it is critical to remember first we are humans supporting humans!  How is your team honoring basic human rights? 

1. Life
2.  Freedom
   • Discrimination
   • Thought 
   • Expression 
   • Movement
   • Opinion
   • Assembly  
3. Food and Water 
4. Education 
5. Privacy 
6. Nationality 
7. Nationality and Culture 
8. Marriage 

A science itself does not take on human characteristics like compassionate or artistic.  The human implementing the empirically validated science does so in a compassionate or artistic way. 

So what human aspects is your team bringing to the implementation of Applied Behavior Analysis? 

1. Kind
2. Understanding
3. Compassionate
4. Artistic 
5. Joyful 
6.  Fun 
7. Connected
8. Engaging 
9. Equitable
10. Humility

Humans do not operate in silos, we are multidimensional with needs across so many areas of science.  How does your practice incorporate other empirically validated sciences?

1. Trauma Informed Care 
2. Ployvagal
3. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy 
4. Relational Frame Theory 
5. Interception
6. Speech and Language Therapy 
7. Occupational Therapy
8. Parent Child Interaction Therapy
