Precision, Passion, and a Pint with Dr. Kerri Milyko, BCBA-D (Part I)

ABA pn Tap is proud to present Dr, Kerri Mlyko, BCBA-D (Part 1 of 2):

Pull up a chair and pour yourself a cold one! In this episode of ABA on Tap, hosts Mike Rubio and Dan Lowery sit down with the powerhouse of Precision Teaching herself, Dr. Kerri Milyko, BCBA-D, LBA.

Dr. Milyko isn't just an expert in the field; she’s a pioneer in instructional design and evidence-based curriculum development. Known for her "Capital-P" passion for Precision Teaching, Kerri joins the guys to break down how we can move beyond standard "check-the-box" therapy and start driving real, outcomes-based results for neurodiverse learners.

In this "pour," we dive into:

• The Component-Composite Relationship: Why failing to master foundational "element" skills makes higher-level learning nearly impossible—and how to fix it.
• Precision Teaching 101: How Kerri first "caught the bug" at the University of Florida and how she’s using it today to transform clinical practice.
• Modernizing ABA: A look at her work with CentralReach in creating digital, integrated curricula that actually work in the real world.
• Systems & Leadership: How to balance clinical priorities with effective leadership to improve both staff engagement and client outcomes.
• Backyard Tinkering: We get to know the "human" side of the BCBA-D, from her love of sci-fi novels and true crime to the perfect wine and butter pairing.

Whether you’re a seasoned BCBA or an RBT just starting out, this episode delivers high-level science with the laid-back, "straight talk" vibe you love.
