It’s been a while since we’ve recorded audio from a poster session. But, by golly, Rob decided to bust out his portable recorder and make nice with the students at the Thompson Center for Autism 2023 Conference. We love getting to hear about research in its early days from special education to autism treatment to neuroscience. We had so much fun, we didn’t even get to use all of our complimentary drink tickets! Plus, a familiar student voice from the past makes a return visit to the show. Thanks to all of the amazing student presenters for taking time to so eloquently share their work and to the Thompson Center for having us back to their conference.

May 2024 Preview

Despite being an episode equivalent of eating all of our vegetables, we had a surprisingly good time talking about how to break in to public policy discussions. Even though we hate legal proceedings. And knowing tons of rules across multiple professions. And schmoozing with others. And sitting in lobbies. But, if that sounds like your bag, we salute your work in promoting meaningful ABA policies!
