ABA Inside Track

Between wrapping up spooky season and Diana’s high school friends tracking her down, we’re sure thankful to have the time to discuss all the episodes coming out in this long-ish month. First, we finally get to talk about Direct Instruction, thanks to our awesome patrons. Then we discuss new ways to think about collboration, behavior analysis in the training of dogs, and treatment of sleep problems in ASD, though not necessarily all in the same episode. I’m sure special guests Rose Griffin, Emily Varon, and Ran Courant-Morgan and Dr. Stephanie Keesey-Phelan will get those topics straightened out.
