Behavior Bitches

This episode is full, and we mean FULL, of behavioral principles. Dr. Steve Kurtz reached out to us after hearing guest Chelsea (Outloud Podcast) talk about Selective Mutism. Steve in an internationally recognized expert #BFD in child psychology. He is also the founder of the Selective Mutism Programs at both the NYU Child Study Center and the Child Mind Institute. In his email to us he said let’s talk about “awesome ABA implemented in a non-autistic context.” It was almost like he knew what we did over here at BBP. Steve instantly became one of our favorite guests and an honorary Behavior B. Steve also sent us both pins that say, “Get Comfortable, Being Uncomfortable.” I mean this guy is the real deal. You are going to love this conversation as much as we did, promise. Love you. Mean it. Show Notes: Selectivemutismlearning.org https://www.kurtzpsychology.com/
