Dr. Lina Slim joins me in Session 217 for a wide-ranging conversation that is almost impossible to describe in a list of bullet points.\\xa0

But I will try... In this show we discussed:

  • Her pivot from studying animal behavior and language to teaching children with Autism.
  • Her unease with seeing lackluster applications of ABA.
  • Starting her own school while earning her Ph.D., while raising two children.
  • Providing services all over the world.
  • Detecting your own biases when providing services (please check this part out if you listen to nothing else in this podcast!!!).
  • Developing trust through asking questions.\\xa0
  • What it\'s like to practice ABA in three different languages.
  • What she plans on talking about at this year\'s Verbal Behavior Conference (and please consider attending, it\'s a great time!).
  • Great advice for the newly-minted BCBA.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
