In this episode, Ben chats with Wes Lowery, a managing partner with TeamABA where he focuses on Sport Behaviour Analytics. This episode was fun to record in that the discussion centred around areas outside of behaviour support and autism. Wes’ passion for working in this sector is infectious and really opens your mind to so many other applications of behaviour analysis.

In this episode I chat with Danielle Watson, a Ph.D. Candidate at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and former co-host of the influential podcast: The Controversial Exchange. We dive into her recent study on safety skills and explore some of the cool things she is working on towards her end goal of being the next Dr. Watson.
