This month are hearts are all a-flutter, and it\u2019s not just because of our love of crappy NECCO wafers. We\u2019re seeing stars about our February topics! We\u2019ll be joined by Dr. Patrick McGreevy to discuss the origins and utility of the \u201cEssential for Learning\u201d curriculum followed by a review on the literature regarding teaching abduction prevention skills to children. As a special surprise, we\u2019ve also got our 2021 talk from the Thompson Center for Autism Conference on maintaining a work-life balance. And, for our Patreon supporters, the latest in our Book Club series where we\u2019ll be analyzing \u201cLook Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger\u2019s\u201d by John Elder Robison. Now check the candy heart in your podcast player: It says, \u201cCool Cat\u201d. That\u2019s you!
