February 2023 Preview

Our town may have called a snow day, but that won’t stop us from getting out this month’s preview episode! First, we’ll be discussing a listener request on precision teaching before welcoming Dr. Johanna Staubitz to the program to review her work with students with emotional/behavioral disorders. Finally, we turn our sights on the analysis and treatment of perseverative verbal topics to wrap up. And that doesn’t even include our live episode for patrons on ethics and conversion therapy as a follow-up to our previous discussion with Sarah Campau and Dr. Matt Capriotti and Spring Book Club poll on the subject of critical thinking and skepticism. We sure did cram a lot into 28 days!
