October 2023 Preview

We’re starting off the month having returned from a great trip to the Thompson Center for Autism 2023 Conference. Hurricane Lee even gave us another day to spend in Missouri to ponder all the exciting episodes coming your way. First, we revisit strategies for improving your parent training methods. Then we’re joined by special guests Landria Green and Jared Van to discuss scope of comfort (NOT confidence) and the dreaded standard celeration chart. Finally, a bonus featuring some great posters from the conference, including a returning presenter. We avoided gushing about how awesome City Museum is but let’s just say it’s one more reason to join us out in St. Louis next September!
