In this fun, real-talk episode of The BC(BAes), Melina and Jordan unpack Stimulus Generalization vs. Response Generalization — what they mean, how they look in real life, and why they’re essential if we want skills to stick beyond the session 🧠✨. From greeting variations (“hi” vs “what’s up”) to doors, stair rails, and toddlers who suddenly throw everything 😅, we keep it practical, relatable, and clinically sound.

We also chat about:
Why generalization is one of the Seven Dimensions of ABA (hello, Generality 🙌)
Common ways teams accidentally keep skills context-bound (clinic-only problems 👀)
How to teach for generalization with multiple exemplars, varied settings, and reinforcing response variations
Sports + parenting analogies that make it click 🏀👨‍👩‍👧

PLUS: We’re headed to the BNBA Summit (Sept 4–6, Atlanta)—hosting panels/events and meeting y’all IRL! Come say hi (one of us is tall, the other is the “pocket of air” in the crowd 😂). In-person + virtual options available.

Drop a comment: a time you thought a learner generalized… then realized it was context-bound. What did you change next time? 💬
