   ABA Clinics Are Making Millions. So Why Are They Running Out of Cash?

   An ABA clinic can bring in millions and still struggle to make payroll. Kurston Williams, founder of Bounce Back Financial, explains why cash can remain tight even as a practice grows, and how better financial systems can help clinic owners make stronger decisions. He also shares how a serious car accident, a long recovery, and his experience as a father shaped his work in ABA. In this episode, Kurston discusses: Why strong revenue or paper profits don’t always mean cash is available How reimbursement rates and fee schedules affect margins Why billing, accounting, and financial planning need to work together How cash flow and strong systems can prepare a clinic to grow How his son’s autism journey shaped his perspective on advocacy and care Watch the full conversation for an honest look at ABA finances, fatherhood, and resilience.

   Black Mental Health, ABA & Where Behavior Science Needs to Go

   ABA is way bigger than autism. So why do we keep putting behavior science in such a small box? Dr. Jared Van joins the BTS crew for a real conversation about behavior science, Black identity, mental health, education, and where the field can go next. A few highlights: ABA goes far beyond autism. Dr. Jared breaks down what behavior science can actually do in the real world. Identity matters. He shares how growing up Black in predominantly white spaces shaped the person, researcher, and educator he became. Who defines “professional”? The crew gets into dress codes, respectability politics, authenticity, and Black self-expression. ABA has some history to reckon with. Jared talks openly about past harms and why criticism of the field deserves to be heard. Behavior science has a much bigger future. Mental health, education, sports, and beyond are all part of the conversation. Come for the science. Stay for the conversation. Watch the full episode of Beyond the Science.
