Coming from a land down under, we're joined this week by Dr. Erin Leif who shares the trials and tribulations that come from navigating the growing field of ABA in Australia. And, in the middle of all that, stops to teach us about practices that we can all use to better uphold the rights of people with disabilities as well as what to do when your best efforts don't quite cut the kangaroo. Plus: More Australia references than you can shake a didgereedoo at.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
