This month are hearts are all a-flutter, and it’s not just because of our love of crappy NECCO wafers. We’re seeing stars about our February topics! We’ll be joined by Dr. Patrick McGreevy to discuss the origins and utility of the “Essential for Learning” curriculum followed by a review on the literature regarding teaching abduction prevention skills to children. As a special surprise, we’ve also got our 2021 talk from the Thompson Center for Autism Conference on maintaining a work-life balance. And, for our Patreon supporters, the latest in our Book Club series where we’ll be analyzing “Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger’s” by John Elder Robison. Now check the candy heart in your podcast player: It says, “Cool Cat”. That’s you! Articles for February 2022 Essential for Living w/ Dr. Patrick McGreevy McGreevy, P., Fry, T., & Cornwall, C.
