What’s the hottest vacation destination for BCBAs this summer? Why the ABA Inside Track virtual studio of course! For the remainder of these hot-hot days (in the Western Hemisphere, at least), grab a cold drink, your beach towel, and favorite podcast player as we travel the world (of ABA topics) with our special guest tour guides. We’ll be visiting the island of Prompt Dependency with Dr. Cividini-Motta, soaring the heights of Mt. Procedural Integrity with Dr. Braga-Kenyon, and zooming down the open road on Rt. Trauma-Informed Care with Brian Middleton (a.k.a., the Bearded Behaviorist). Plus, this vacation package is entirely free!
