  • 22: Autism, ABA, & Social Media - A Parent's Perspective with Eileen Lamb

    The Behavior Hour ladies had an opportunity to sit down and talk with Eileen Lamb. Eileen Lamb is an author, podcast host, and a badass mother to 3 beautiful children. Throughout our conversation we discussed moving from France to Texas, parenting two children on the autism spectrum, beginning her blog The Autism Cafe, and then writing her first book!

    The vulnerability and openness that Eileen shared with us was eye-opening and allowed us to talk about issues when communicating with others about Autism.
