Safe place for progressive topics

I appreciate the team at Safe Space ABA. They are doing some challenging but much needed work in discussing some progressive topics in our field. They are covering topics from fitness, individualized treatment and cultural competency. It’s always a comfortable listen and I truly appreciate the transcription provided. I highly recommend to explore a variety of topics and to get CEUs.
