  • I love listening!

    I love listening to this podcast because these are two outstanding behaviorists who are currently in the field and are giving us advice on daily issues that they know are current. They know what it’s like to be in the classroom. Their advice is simple yet important and little changes in the classroom can make big improvements!

  • Love this

    As a licensed behavior specialist, soon to sit for the boards, I enjoy this podcast. I especially loved the episode on challenging behaviors and trauma informed care. It’s so important to ensure that the kiddo feels they have a say in their every day life. I have taught my staff, pick your battles. If it’s not interfering, then let it be. We can always shape it later. I look forward to more episodes.
