"Thank you for making this excellent, research-based learning opportunity that is both extremely accessible and affordable. This is the best kind of PD: it’s one hour at a time so I can learn and then have time to synthesize and apply. It provides information I can apply to my practice immediately; and I can listen and learn while I drive, fold laundry, etc. thanks for the research and resources!"

Ali Arena Ed. D., CCC-SLP, BCBA
Dr. Ali Arena is passionate about social cognition, language processing, executive functioning, and creating meaningful friendships & relationships. This is why she refers to herself as an interpersonal detective that searches for patterns to increase connection either in romantic relationships, friendships, or parent-child dynamics.
She is both a Speech-Language Pathologist & Board Certified Behavior Analyst. She holds a doctorate in educational leadership and is becoming a licensed educational psychologist. She uses a Neurodiversity-Affirming and Trauma-Informed lens while working with all clients. Her doctorate focus was unique, to say the least as it addressed the dating intricacies of Autistics which led her to develop her private practice for anyone who wants help socially navigating in their workplace or relationships. Lastly, she truly feels social support is a biological necessity and wants to help all neurodivergent individuals to reach holistic communication

Therapy challenge to initiate outside of a clinicians comfort zone.
I love the idea of going off script and with the flow of what is happening in the moment. Great case study example provided.

Improv: Your New Favorite Therapy Technique
I loved the presenters positive attitude and method of presentation. Her reminder that flexibility, modeling and adaptation are key factors to gaining and maintaining trust with our students is spot on. The games she presented were wonderful! I can't wait to try some of them with my students, especially 'Stone Face!'
