October 2021 Preview

Throw on your sweater and grab a big ol' mug of pumpkin spice latte. It's a spooky preview for this month's episodes. Between attending conferences and raking leaves, we'll be hearing from Dr. Christopher Tullis about updates to preference assessment methodology, practicing delay tolerance training with Dr. Mahshid Ghaemmaghami, and exploring the utility of ceding instructional control in classrooms. Don't forget to say "hi" if you're attending the BABAT or Thompson Center for Autism conferences this month!
