Next week's episode will be all about teaching empathy. And who better to help us kick off this preview episode than some very special guests: puppets! After that, we share an excerpt from our upcoming interview with Whitney Hammel of Autism Compassion Africa to highlight the work of her and her staff in bringing treatment of individuals with autism to Ghana. We're so motivated to help out that we even announce a fundraiser in honor of Autism Awareness Month where all CE processing fees will be donated to ACA. So, listen to as many episodes as you can: every CE you purchase increases the funds heading to treatment of autism in West Africa.
