About the Creator

Sean Yocum, MA, BCBA, LBA, is a seasoned behavior analyst and educator with over 15 years of experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). As the Chief Executive Officer of Hickory Learning Group, he is deeply committed to enhancing the quality and integrity of ABA services. He is renowned for his advocacy of family-centered ABA practices. Drawing from personal experience with an autistic sibling, he emphasizes the necessity of caregiver training and real-world skill generalization. He critiques traditional ABA models that focus solely on clinical settings, arguing that without family involvement, therapy lacks meaningful impact. Beyond his professional endeavors, Yocum co-hosts the "Rad N' Bad" podcast, where he discusses contemporary issues in ABA, including systemic challenges and the importance of cultural competence in therapy. Yocum's multifaceted approach to ABA—combining clinical expertise, educational initiatives, and advocacy—positions him as a leading voice in promoting ethical and effective behavioral interventions.
