Episode 353 - (LISTENER CHOICE) Legislative Policy in Behavior Analysis

Thanks to our awesome listeners, we're bringing ANOTHER Listener Choice episode out a bit early because folks can't wait to revisit a discussion of ABA and public policy. This time we're focusing on the licensure process for behavior analysts: How it happened, what we learned, and what comes next to ensure the health and growth of the field. Probably need to start with getting better press than some recent stories around billing practices. And, it wouldn't be an episode on relevant ABA policies without Dr. Bill Ahearn! Listen in and learn how to be part of the solution!

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING/General CEU.
