A significant portion of the ABA workforce is somewhere in the menopausal transition right now. Brain fog or sleep disruption layered on top of already demanding caseloads are real experiences happening in real ABA workplaces, and for most behavior analysts navigating them, there's never been a professional framework for making sense of what's going on.
This resource guide, developed by Emaley McCulloch alongside leading behavior analysts Janet Lund, Lexi Rand, Linda LaBlanc, Ansley Hodges, and Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi, applies the conceptual tools of ABA directly to the menopausal transition. You'll come away with a behavior-analytic framework for understanding your symptoms, practical self-management strategies grounded in the same logic you use every day, and a research-backed perspective that replaces the deficiency narrative with something more accurate.
A behavior-analytic framework that reframes menopause as an establishing operation and maps what functional self-management looks like in practice.
A clinical symptom reference covering vasomotor, cognitive, emotional, and physical changes, including a set of less-common symptoms that rarely get named in professional settings.
A behavioral analysis of workplace stigma around menopause and a concrete prescription for changing the contingencies in your organization.
Cross-cultural and research-backed perspectives on the transition, including frameworks that center renewal and vitality rather than decline.
A curated resource list covering tracking apps, women's health specialists, books, and podcasts, organized for immediate use.
