And yea, the functional analysis sprung from the head of Iwata et al. And the results were good. Fast forward a few decades and researchers are still exploring the limits of this game changing assessment tool, finding ways for BCBAs to conduct safer and faster procedures. And to sum up some recent touchstone moments in this journey, we’re joined by researcher and FA history expert, Dr. Jessica Slaton to look at the past 40 years…and beyond!
