Between sharing our Christmas Movie watching habits and preparing for the coldest months with a warm book club, we haven’t a moment to lose in sharing out this month’s episodes. But we’re opening a gift early because we’ve finally been able to catch up with special guest, Dr. Bruce Tinor, to share about leadership in the schools before having a little debate about the best escape-maintained behavior treatments for every situation (well, that we could discuss in an hour-long show). And 2023 can’t wrap up without our annual Year in ABA with Matt Cicoria from the Behavioral Observations podcast. Have a holly jolly time listening and we’ll see you in 2024!

Don't forget to sign-up for the Winter Book Club on our Patreon page to get access to our new episode next month (and 2 CEUs for free!)
