Though most of our episodes focus on how to train individuals in supporting autistic individuals, we're usually talking about supporting parents, teachers, or other clinicians. But who trains everybody else in society? This week we're joined by Dr. Dorothea Lerman to find out how her research on training police officers and dentists in autism care takes the BST ball and runs with it. Plus, how to test the bonds of your relationship with COVID-lockdown dental exam role play! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
