Episode 280 - Neurodiversity, pt. 2 - The Neurodiversity Panel w/ Alex Astrella, Michelle LaFrance, + Brian Middleton

ABA Inside Track

As a continuation of our ongoing review of neurodiversity in society and in the practice of ABA, we decided to make space for less talking and more listening. In this episode we’re joined by a special guest panel made up of neurodivergent behavior analysts including returning guest, Brian Middleton, and new guests, Alex Astrella and Michelle LaFrance to discuss their insights on the field, what’s going right, and what’s going wrong.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
