It’s summertime in New England and, for our vacation plans, we made more podcasts! First the Summer of Book Club continues with special guests Dr. Linda LeBlanc and Dr. Amanda Karsten (plus Alan) to discuss their brand new book on practical decision making and ethical action . Then we stop to review some of the behavioral underpinnings that make telling stories so meaningful. Finally we continue our series on neurodiversity with a panel of autistic BCBAs and RBTs sharing their perspectives on how ABA is doing.
