January 2021 Preview

A new year means new podcasts and new resolutions. To help you out, we’re starting off the year with two podcasts all on the topic of ethics. First, we welcome back Dr. Allen Karsina who will literally debate us about the ethics code. Then, we get into the ethics of cultural competence in the practice of a behavior analyst. Finally, we wrap it all up with a mindful podcast about mindfulness in the schools. Here’s to a better year than the last!
