Episode 11: The Boy Who Dives Under the Table with Kristie Pretti-Frontczak

Hello and welcome to another episode of our wonderful Synergy Autism Podcast. Today, I am chatting with my good friend and colleague, Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak. She was working with a classroom team in one of her trainings who was perplexed as to what to do for and with a child who dives under the table at the end of the day.
