How to Motivate Using Modeling | ABA Mom Podcast Motivation doesn’t start with telling—it starts with showing. In this episode of the ABA Mom Podcast, we break down one of the most powerful and evidence-based tools in behavior analysis: modeling. Learn how modeling builds motivation, reduces resistance, and helps children and individuals with autism and related disabilities develop independence and confidence. Modeling isn’t just about teaching skills—it’s about showing what’s possible. Whether you’re a parent, therapist, teacher, or caregiver, this episode will give you practical strategies you can use immediately to increase cooperation, communication, and engagement. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why modeling increases motivation • How modeling reduces problem behavior • How to use modeling to teach life skills and communication • How to build independence through observation • Real-life examples you can use today Modeling works because behavior is learned through observation. When individuals see success, calm regulation, and confidence, they are more likely to engage in those same behaviors. If you’re supporting someone with autism, developmental disabilities, or behavioral challenges, this episode is for you.

Adults have tantrums too… and no one talks about it. 👀

In this episode of ABA Mom, we break down what’s really happening when grown adults melt down — from a behavior science perspective. Using the powerful “Let Them” theory and the science behind the 6-second emotional chemical burst, you’ll learn how to stop reinforcing adult tantrums and start regulating yourself instead.

If you’ve ever dealt with: ✔️ A reactive partner ✔️ Workplace drama ✔️ Family conflict ✔️ Or your own emotional spirals

This episode will give you practical, science-backed tools to stay calm, detached, and in control. You’ll learn how to ride out emotional waves, understand the function of behavior, and respond instead of react.

Because emotional maturity isn’t about never feeling — it’s about choosing your behavior after the first six seconds.

✨ Watch now and take your power back.
