Happy 2024, y’all! And boy are we coming in hot with the latest fads in treament and your ethical responsibility to respond skeptically to them. After that we chat with Dr. John Guercio about what’s new with effective programming curricula for adults with disabilities and take a dive into the latest in error correction research. Then it all goes off a cliff with our most dramatic Grab Bag episode ever with Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman. Apparently our New Year’s Resolution was to win an Oscar.
