That brings me to my, my next question of, you know, our audience is

isBusiness leaders, uh, business owners, people who are thinking about starting, people who are growing their business, uh, uh, quite a variety.

And we've had conversations in here about inter-interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary teams and, um, having, you know, other individuals, other professionals within your team other than just BCBAs.

And, um, I think this is just anecdo-anecdotally, like I, I don't have data to back this up, but I do hear it seems more often speech and ABA together more so than I hear other disciplines like OT- Yeah ... and PT within, uh- Right ... within an ABA setting.

Um, so for those out there who are owners who already have a company or they're thinking about starting a company or they're wanting to grow their company, um, and they're thinking about, "Well, maybe speech would be my next area that I bring in," um, what's some advice that you could give them, um, for that process?

I think really looking at the billing and the funding, how is that going to be funded? I know that's a huge issue for a lot of people, and we have a couple free resources at abaspeech.org.

People could always contact me, rose@abaspeech.org. We have one that is an SLP interview guide- Mm ... and it's really for ABA clinic owners thinking that, [chuckles] you know, you don't want to hire somebody who is anti-ABA.

Mm

... eye gaze and cooperation and enjoying fun activities," what are some simple things that parents can try to just improve things on their own?

Absolutely.

I came up with the connecting engage approach.

It's a three-pronged approach, so using books, music, and play in your functional family routines or as a professional.

And I think that when we have books, people get really...

They think there's a lot of expectations about how a student should, should sit during a book, but that's not always the case.

I say we have to make it fun, so using your real-life voice to read the books.

So what are some practical strategies from your new books, the, your new book, that parents and professionals could start today? Besides, like, the, the books and the music, are there anything else that you can think of off the top of your head that they could start?
