QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

"This science of ABA is so cool. And it doesn't just apply to autism. We can apply the science of ABA anywhere. But like, I'm sure most of you have heard something similar. That was the end of the sentence."
"I personally could not live with that potential regret of not doing something. So I was like, you know what? I'm going to go all in."
"There is a major misconception in our field that if you want to accrue your practicum hours, you have to be an RBT. Nowhere in the handbook does it say that."
"My goal for this podcast is to bring on guests that are working outside of the traditional settings... It is possible. You can do it."
