How might you use LinkedIn for networking? How might you use Facebook for networking? What would be some concerns / areas for caution when using LinkedIn or Facebook for networking? Describe the value of being a “connector.” For colleagues within your discipline. For colleagues across disciplines.

Bailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 2. You are in an interdisciplinary team meeting.  The team is discussing one of your clients, who is a 48 year old gentleman with profound intellectual disability who engages in severe self-injury.  You have had a difficult time getting the staff in the organization to implement the man’s treatment program with reasonable integrity, and this is limiting the man’s progress.  In this ID Team meeting, the Occupational Therapist reports that she just came back from a weekend seminar on Myofascial Release, and describes the procedure to the ID Team.  The OT reports that since the gentleman’s emotional memories live in his joints, using Myofascial Release could release those emotional memories from his joints, and could result in reduction or elimination of his self-injury.  You are dumbfounded.  (To make matters even worse – the guy doesn’t even like to be touched – and the whole team is aware…
Bailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 1.

When the graduate student bends over to help the child, and you are standing in front of the graduate student, much of the graduate student’s upper chest is exposed to you.  Later, when you are standing behind the graduate student and the graduate student bends over to help the child, the graduate student’s “tramp stamp” is exposed.  Is this something you should address with the graduate student?  Why or why not? How would you address this with the graduate student (if you think you should)? Would the graduate student’s gender make a difference in this situation?
