Episode 5: Changing the ABA Narrative with Phil Peters
What’s Inside This Episode
What’s Inside This Episode
Phil didn’t set out to start an ABA company—he stumbled into the field two decades ago thanks to a Craigslist ad. Since then, he’s become a business owner, a mentor, and a dad of (almost) three. In this conversation, Phil gets real about how his thinking around ABA has evolved, what he and his team do differently at Communication Lab, and how staying calm (even in chaos) can change everything—for kids, families, and clinicians alike.
Episode Highlights
This week we talk about:
What led Phil to open Communication Lab with his wife
Why their approach to ABA puts relationships and regulation first
The biggest mistake he made early in his career—and what changed
How he mentors his team through servant leadership
What helps him stay grounded as a dad, a leader, and a human
Why “just be calm” is harder than it sounds (but still worth it)
