Let me hear your voice

But one of the families in New York had at that time, one child, and then later about a year or two later, a second child diagnosed.

And I start working with this family and mom writes a book called, let me hear your voice.

Right.

And so this book becomes a New York bestseller and she mentions that this is UCLA and she mentions me by name in her book and the book this is back in the I want to say maybe close to 1990.

I want to say for folks who are listening that are maybe not as familiar with the history of the field, I just want to kind of emphasize two things because we in some ways brushed past them, which is one, that 1987 Lobos paper being groundbreaking and credited with being the first experimental demonstration that ABA could be effective in helping folks with autism.

So the importance of that study can't be overstated.

And then that book that you mentioned, the Let Me Hear Your Voice, is what most people attribute to sort of the...

the society at large learning about understanding ABA and its utility in helping folks with autism and so those are two incredibly important moments in the history of behavior analysis especially as it applies to treating autism and as you said you're right at the heart of both of those and so I just want to sort of take a moment uh Maybe embarrass you a little bit with, you know, to emphasize that piece, but I do think it is important for the audience to have this in context.
