Somehow, by the grace of God, I found your podcast, and you literally have changed the course of my professional life. Your discussions are so engaging and rich with information. I find myself anxiously awaiting each episode. I am able to apply new skills and ideas literally the DAY after I hear episodes, and I feel confident that I am serving my students and families with the best practices. ”

“I casually look left and right scanning traffic only to notice that the person in the car next to me is looking at me oddly while I am participating in their discussion. Thank goodness the light is short! I continue driving to my next appointment. This happens every week! it’s THAT good.”
“Not only do the hosts make this topic extremely engaging and enjoyable to listen to, but there is always discussion of practical application of evidence-based practice and skills. Speakers are well-appointed without “fluff.” Thank you for making me laugh and teaching me something new!”
