Have you ever heard someone say, "They never do that for me!" or "She behaves completely differently in my class."?

In this episode, Caitlin breaks down one of the most important (and misunderstood) concepts in Applied Behavior Analysis: stimulus control. Learn why students often behave differently with different teachers, classrooms, and situations, and why those differences are a clue to understanding behavior, not a competition between educators.

Whether you're a special education teacher, BCBA, paraprofessional, or general education teacher, this episode will help you look beyond the behavior and start asking better questions.

🎙️ Key Takeaways
✔️ What stimulus control means in everyday classroom language
✔️ Why students naturally behave differently with different people and settings
✔️ How teachers, routines, and classroom expectations become cues for behavior
✔️ What a discriminative stimulus (SD) is and how it influences behavior
✔️ Why substitute teachers often see different behaviors than classroom staff
✔️ Why behavior differences don't mean one teacher is "better" than another
✔️ Better questions to ask instead of, "Why don't they do that for me?"
