I love this and will be recommending this to my colleagues! I love how organized the format was, and how they gave context for all of the concerns that were being discussed. Many of the recommendations and ways to approach the concerns were very insightful, super clear, and also specific enough to put into action within my own practice! I loved the lived experience Michelle brought to the presentation. :) Thank you!

With a huge shift and push in our field from compliance to assent based care, this was extremely informative and helpful to ensure our practices align with these standards. This training provided a lot of great scenarios, examples, information to use as a BCBA in programming but as well to use as a supervisor while training new supervisees! Thank you for this great presentation!
