HFU Professor Katharine Croce Featured on The Behavioral Observations Podcast

Dr. Katharine (Katie) Croce, associate professor of psychology at Holy Family University, recently sat down with Matt Cicoria on The Behavioral Observations Podcast to talk about her journey to becoming a behavior analyst and her passion for teaching self-management strategies. In the episode, she and her colleague Jamie Salter discuss how self-monitoring can be a game-changer for practitioners, teachers, psychologists and parents—helping students and clients improve their classroom performance and ultimately gain greater independence.

A key focus of the discussion is the Self & Match System, an evidence-based tool developed by Croce and Salter to promote accountability and self-regulation. Used in schools, clinics and homes nationwide, Self & Match empowers individuals to track their own behavior, reinforcing positive actions and fostering long-term success. Whether implemented in a single classroom or as part of a schoolwide initiative, this system has helped countless students develop the skills they need to thrive academically and socially.

Hosted by Matt Cicoria, a board-certified behavior analyst, The Behavioral Observations Podcast features conversations with leading experts in applied behavior analysis. Covering topics like autism, functional behavioral assessment and acceptance and commitment therapy, the show is a great resource for professionals looking to implement effective, research-backed strategies.
