Brett DiNovi & Associates (BDA)

Why You Might Not Want to Work with Us Let’s be upfront: this isn’t your typical “we’re amazing, come work here” post. We know who we are, and we know we’re not for everyone—and that’s okay. We’re mission-driven, heart-forward, and unapologetically relentless in our pursuit of impact. That means if you’re not about continuous growth, grit, and genuine passion, you might not feel at home here. ?? It’s not a job; it’s a commitment. We work with children and families who need us to show up fully—every day. This isn’t a clock-in, clock-out gig. It’s energy, compassion, and intentionality poured into every interaction. If you’re here for "easy," this isn’t your stop. ?? Balance isn’t always balanced. We aim for work-life harmony, but let’s be real: some days, it’s all hands on deck. Why? Because when the stakes are high, we give everything we’ve got. And that’s exactly the kind of dedication families deserve from us. ?? Excellence over ease. We don’t settle for mediocrity because the work we do changes lives. If you’re not excited by the idea of personal growth and leveling up—again and again—this probably won’t feel like the right fit. But for the right person? This is everything. It’s the chance to make a big impact, to push your limits, and to grow in ways you never imagined. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, let’s talk. Because here, we’re not just building careers; we’re building a legacy. https://lnkd.in/en6W5yWQ ?? Interested?

Starting a new career can feel overwhelming, but mentorship transforms the journey into a guided adventure. A great mentor not only shares expertise but also reinforces growth with positive feedback and support, as demonstrated by principles from Bandura’s social learning theory and Skinner's reinforcement theory. Whether through structured formal mentorship programs or naturally developed informal relationships, mentorship fosters skills, builds confidence, and boosts job satisfaction. Effective mentors model professional behaviors and inspire learning, while proactive mentees set clear goals and seek feedback to maximize the experience. Looking to find the right mentor? Start by identifying your career goals, then connect through networking events, professional organizations, or workplace programs. Thoughtful outreach can open doors to mutually beneficial relationships. Remember, mentorship is a lifelong journey that accelerates growth at every career stage. https://lnkd.in/eU6hQtny What has mentorship meant for your career? Share your story in the comments!

Unique reinforcement schedules allow participants to make choices with varying rewards and conditions. Imagine a choice between an immediate apple or a cookie with a delay until after dinner. This approach helps assess preferences, enhances decision-making, and supports tailored behavior interventions. ??

In the world of behavior analysis, we’re all familiar with positive and negative reinforcement, yet the distinction continues to spark debate. Should we still categorize these as separate processes, or is it time to simplify? For decades, scholars like Jack Michael, Baron, Galizio, and others have weighed in. On one side, separating positive and negative reinforcement can bring clarity and precision in research, understanding, and interventions. For example, knowing whether behavior is maintained by positive (adding a stimulus) or negative (removing an aversive one) reinforcement can shape intervention strategies significantly. But on the flip side, does this complexity add value? Both types of reinforcement ultimately increase behavior, and in real-life scenarios, their effects are often intertwined, leading to potential confusion—especially for those new to the field. https://lnkd.in/egrKmc7G This ongoing debate reminds us of an essential question: Is complexity enhancing our practice, or is simplicity the ultimate sophistication?

From the Wrestling Mat to Behavior Analysis: A Journey of Resilience and Reinvention When a career-ending injury left a former West Virginia University wrestler grappling with anxiety and a lost sense of self, he found himself searching for meaningful solutions beyond traditional counseling. It wasn’t until he encountered behavior analysis in a psychology class that he discovered measurable, practical tools to address his mental health challenges head-on. Guided by inspiring mentors like Dr. Julie Vargas and Dr. Ernest Vargas, he immersed himself in behavior analysis, transforming personal struggles into a powerful career dedicated to helping others make positive changes. His journey from athlete to behavior analyst is a testament to the resilience and reinvention possible through applied behavioral science. https://lnkd.in/eyCjAgSS Brett DiNovi, BCBA Tyler Larm #BehaviorAnalysis #MentalHealth #Resilience #CareerChange #Psychology #behavioranalysis?#Learning?#Reinforcement?#behavioravengers?#bdaaba?#bcbaowned?#goldstandardofaba?#familyoperated?#alwaysonestepahead?#behaviorconsultation?#appliedbehavioranalysis?#hackingaba?#hackingbehavior?#behaviorhack?#brettdinoviandassociates?#bda?#behavioranalysts?#behaviortechnichian?#bcba?#bcaba
