My goal for the Just 7 Steps Podcast is to help share the value of evidence-based behavioral education with a wider, more diverse audience. Every parent of every child should know the secrets of developing a great relationship with their child while still being able to guide them to become their best selves. Parents have one of the most important jobs in the world, but the truth is most parents aren’t given the useful, practical information they need to do the job effectively. Behavior analysis is the best tool we have in supporting education and raising our kids, but often it’s kept hidden behind complex language and a restricted view of how it can be used. My goal is to bring this information to you in clear, interesting, and useful ways.
Jon Przybyl is a bright and fun occupational therapist who received his undergraduate degree in Sport, Heath and Physical Education at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo BC, Canada. He then went on to get his master’s in occupational therapy from the University of Manitoba. After graduating in 2016, Jon returned to Kelowna, BC, and began working for Meridian Rehabilitation Consulting Inc. where he worked as an OT from 2016-2021. There, he worked primarily with a mixed population. In March of 2021, Jon opened his own practice where he focuses only on pediatrics (kids ages 2-19).
Jon and I discuss how he integrated the 7-Steps into his therapy sessions, which made them fun and productive. He found that his sessions have fun participating in the various “trials”, and he’s also able to share valuable information with parents. When parents are able to use strategies at home, it makes carryover much more successful. Jon explains occupational therapy and its associated goals. He also shares his initial concerns with ABA and how the 7 Steps altered his opinion. We recap the 7-Steps, talk about which ones had the most impact, and much more.
What’s Inside:
- How Jon integrates the 7 steps into his therapy practice.
- What occupational therapy and associated goals.
- A recap of the 7 Steps and which ones had the biggest impact on Jon.
