Alyson Smith is a Registered Behavior Technician. She's educated in human behavior and applied behavior analysis (or ABA). We had an absolutely wonderful conversation, and I can't wait to have her back on. While parents will find lots of interest in this episode specifically, her expertise and wisdom ranges beyond just what she does for a living, and anyone who takes the time will surely find something to apply to their own lives. Thank you, Alyson, for reinforcing my guilty conscience that "it's ok if you don't know what the fuck you're doing."
