Rob’s running the show solo this month as we head into the dog days of summer. Enjoy our two regular episodes including a history of behavior analysis with Dr. Mirari Elcoro and our listener-selected episode on client self-determination in transition planning. Then, while we’re enjoying a little time off, we’ll be unlocking last year’s book club discussing “Street Data” and releasing our talk on Quality of Life from last year’s Thompson Center conference. All that and Rob gets some performance feedback.
