Episode 31: Special Series on Supporting Refugees from Ukraine Episode 1: Coordinating Supports for Refugee Families of Children with Disabilities with Sophie Ganevitch, M.Ed., BCBA

In the first episode of this series we talk to Sophie Ganevitch. Sophie has worked for many years growing behaviour analysis in Ukraine. On February 23, 2022 she signed a memorandum of agreement with the International Behavior Analyst Organization working towards a credentialing program in Ukraine. The next day, Russia began its attack on the country. Now she is in the UK coordinating supports for Ukrainian refugees with children with autism and other disabilities and is seeking support from others around the world to do the same in their countries as over 3 million refugees have fled. Sophie shares this story and puts out a call for support which we hope our listeners will answer.
