Now that lousy March weather is over, it’s time for cool April and another bunch of podcast episodes on topics that smell as sweet as Spring flowers. First we welcome back Dr. Mallory Quinn to share strategies for meaningful supervision in the realm of health, sports, and fitness. Then we run the gamut on old and “hot-off-the-press” topics with a review of schedule thinning and how to get involved in public policy. Because if you don’t, who will? Plus, for patrons, our Spring 2024 Book Club will take you right from the page to your practice in using picture activity schedules.
