LIVE from the Thompson Center! It’s ABA Inside Track! We’re back again with a talk we gave last month at the 14th Annual Thompson Center for Autism Conference all about parent stress. But, a funny thing happened on the way to the podium: We realized that decreasing parent stress isn’t as easy as just doing good training. Listen in for some tips on how to improve your parent-BCBA collaboration skills. And, as a big thank you to all of our listeners, this episode is good for one FREE CEU!!! After you listen to the whole thing, of course.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
