  • Episode 309

    I just listened to episode of 309 and I am so thankful that these conversations are being had. It was an eye opening conversation because it provided examples of how misinterpretation of behaviors can have adverse and sometimes deadly effects on people who have autism. Autism training and awareness should be required in law enforcement.

The work of BCBAs has not only b... more

  • Great podcast!

    I listened to episode 254 talking about AAC devices and it made me think of how kids and adults use the devices in a different way. The way we teach them how to communicate on them is very important for actual conversations.

She explains it in a way that new students in the field, as well as people outside the field can easily understand. Dr. Miller outlines a strategic seven step process to be successful in implementing instructional control and altern... more
