Show notes
With so many guests making time to join us this month, we almost didn't have a chance to record this month's preview! But, between our research-reading, jet-setting lifestyle, we found a peaceful—albeit much too hot—moment to head into the studio to run down what's to come in August. We start off a variety of episodes by talking about variety itself in ABA with Dr. Matthew Normand. Then we review how trauma-informed care can be implemented in behavior management with Saundra Bishop before delving into the related area of compassion and collaboration with Dr. Jessica Rohrer and Dr. Mary Jane Weiss. Finally, we turn our baseball caps around to rap about teaching kids to make their own decisions.
Don't forget: new book club this month on the Patreon site. We're talking all about Street Data, a.k.a., how data can be used for equity in schools.
