On today’s episode, the Bitches get to chat with Kristin Ruane, BCBA and the author of “Finding Victoria” which is the story of an adorable, yet stubborn child who meets her match when her mother, Valerie, decides to call a behavior analyst. This book is a training guide to the science of Applied Behavior Analysis written as a novel. The idea is to bring some awareness of the science to parents, teachers, and practitioners in an accessible, yet enticing way, by adding context to the lessons through relatable characters, and unexpected plot twists.
