WALNUT CREEK, Calif., June 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Known for research and clinical innovation that challenges the status quo in developmental disabilities care, many people over the past few years have been asking, “what’s up with Catalight?”
So much so that Catalight, one of the largest behavioral health networks in the United States, decided to launch a podcast to answer that very question while reaching beyond its own walls and into the industry to discuss the future of autism and other intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD) care.
"What's Up With Catalight!,” hosted by the non-profit's Vice President of Clinical Excellence Lindsey Sneed, Ph.D., BCBA-D, premieres today on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
