Episode 37 Preview

Next week we're talking about the highly dangerous behavior, pica.  Why do individuals ingest non-edible items and are there any treatments we can use to help them stop? But, before then, we share some updates to the website including where to find Preschool Life Skills data sheets (here) and what to get the BCBA who has everything.
