ABA Technologies, Inc. is Excited To Announce The Release of Two New Books, “The Consulting Supervisor’s Workbook” and “The New Supervisor’s Workbook”
Mentoring new supervisors can be a challenging task, and training as a new supervisor can be equally demanding. Add to these efforts, the in-depth knowledge required of professionals in the field of behavioral practices and guidance for supervisors and their supervisor trainees becomes crucial. That’s where Linda LeBlanc and Tyra Sellers come in.
Authors of Building and Sustaining Meaningful and Effective Relationships as a Supervisor and Mentor, Linda and Tyra now offer the brand new companion workbooks:
• The Consulting Supervisor’s Workbook: Supporting New Supervisors
• The New Supervisor’s Workbook: Success in the First Year of Supervision
These workbooks, based on positive behavioral strategies, include monthly planning guides, self-assessment exercises, and detailed, coordinated supervisor/mentor meeting plans. Based on the revised BACB® requirements—effective as of January 2022—these texts provide actionable support for shaping and improving the work of supervisors and their trainees. Supervisors now have a template for improving their own management skills and sharing their experience with new BCBA® supervisors who can then fulfill their responsibilities with confidence and capability. These workbooks will enable those in both roles to develop and apply their higher-order skills with expertise throughout their successful careers.

About ABA Technologies, Inc.
ABA Technologies takes a strategic approach to aligning learning outcomes with business objectives. Whatever metrics matter most, sustained behavior change keeps key performance indicators (KPIs) moving in the right direction. These outcomes may include closing skill gaps, minimizing turnover, achieving clinical objectives, and increasing safe production. These objectives are even more elusive in a business climate of continuously changing technologies and a retiring workforce that results in a loss of institutional knowledge. However, ABA Technologies knows how to navigate these changing inputs.

New Book “Camp Grampy” Chronicles a Retired Couple’s Homemade Summer Tradition for Their Eleven Grandchildren
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
David R. Stewart has published "Camp Grampy: An Adventure With Grandchildren," a book built around a four-day summer gathering he and his wife, Nancy, started for their grandchildren after Stewart retired.
The idea, according to the announcement, grew out of a practical problem: grandchildren living in different cities who barely knew each other as cousins. Stewart and his wife set a recurring window each summer, picking the children up on a Sunday and returning them the following Thursday, timed around his Rotary Club schedule. Over time, that logistical arrangement became a standing family tradition with a name of its own.
Stewart draws on a background in sports, board games, and youth mentoring through scouting and Sunday school programs, according to the announcement, and he and Nancy built Camp Grampy around crafts, games, and activities modeled on traditional summer camp. The book states that children needed to be at least five years old to participate, a threshold set so everyone attending could take part in the full program. The family now includes eleven grandchildren, per Stewart.
"This book represents our family’s joy in building lasting memories and demonstrating to our eleven grandchildren that they matter," Stewart said in the announcement. "We wanted to show other families how accessible these meaningful experiences can be when approached with love and creativity."
The publisher describes the book as offering grandparents and extended families a model for building their own recurring traditions, framed around the argument that intentional, structured time together can carry weight beyond an ordinary visit. "Camp Grampy" was published by Christian Faith Publishing and is available in paperback and through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a familiar shelf of grandparent memoirs turning a family ritual into a template for others, and that’s exactly the kind of book that tends to find its readers by word of mouth rather than headlines.

From Bay Area to World Stage: Brian Brady Unveils International Thriller ‘The Crew’
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Brian Brady’s latest thriller, titled "The Crew," shifts away from San Francisco and explores international locales according to an announcement circulated this week.
The announcement positions this title as a shift for Brady, whose previous fiction has centered on the San Francisco Bay Area Details on plot, characters, and publisher were not included in the material provided, and no author biography or backlist accompanied the release.
Publishing contains multiple books with the title "The Crew" It’s also the name of a 2025 nonfiction book by fire chief Matthew Aalto on firehouse leadership and accountability, and echoes Stephen King’s 1985 story collection "Skeleton Crew." None of that overlaps with Brady’s book in subject matter, but readers searching for it online should expect some noise in the results.
Beyond the shift in geography, the announcement does not specify what genre conventions the book follows, who its central characters are, or where its globe-trotting story actually takes place. Those are the kinds of details that typically separate one thriller from another on a crowded shelf.
Studio CarryOnHarry will hold off on further comment until more specifics on plot and publisher emerge, but a known author moving away from a signature setting is usually worth a second look once the book itself is available.
