Hello! This is an awesome podcast. I will be recommending this to some of my teacher friends. I learned a lot about strategies to deal with emotional regulations when working with students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Your podcast is very informative and I enjoyed the conversation. Thank you for sharing!
