Coming to you from our recording studio, it’s ABA Inside Track’s LIVE Fall (Winter?) episode. And this time, our listeners on Patreon voted for us to discuss visual supports in treatment. In order to break down such a broad category of interventions, we found articles capturing some of the key areas of research including: Social skills! Vocational skills! Independent living skills! We also chat about just what visual supports are and some general guidelines for their use. Plus, Rob’s favorite article story of 2022.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
