- The potential harm of implementing interventions that are not evidence-based
- Some of the ethical considerations to review when designing programs
- How Katerina became involved in the field of ABA
- Why ABA is sometimes misunderstood by parents and professionals
- How she views the changes to the BACB’s international credentialing
- ABA Centrum's transition to online services and how they keep parents engaged from a distance
