Now, everybody loves functional communication.  Only problem: at some point, the delay between functional communication and reinforcement has to reach a natural timing.  And that's where everything falls apart.  Rather than hope for the best, why not plan for it instead? Dr. Mahshid Ghaemmaghami joins us to discuss her research on this very topic and flips the script on the skill formerly known as "delay tolerance."  This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
