Summary
As part of Autism Awareness Month, ABA Inside Track is donating all money from CE processing fees to Autism Compassion Africa, a nonprofit group dedicated to improving the treatment of individuals with autism in Western Africa. Diana and I spoke with one of the organization's founders, Whitney Hammel, about the work so far, about the newly founded school in Ghana, and about the challenges and rewards for a BCBA outside of the U.S.
Remember, you still have two weeks to purchase CEs on a variety of topics. If you'd rather donate directly to Autism Compassion Africa, you can do that as well. Thank you!

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. Welcome to ABA Inside Track, a special bonus edition. I'm Robert Perry Cruz, your host for this bonus edition. |
| 0:24.2 | I'll be joined later by our special guest, Whitney Hamill, from Autism Compassion, Africa, |
| 0:28.7 | and of course by my fabulous co-host, Diana Perry Cruz. Now, the reason you're getting this |
| 0:33.0 | bonus episode is because right now it's Autism Awareness Month worldwide. And for Autism Awareness Month, |
| 0:41.7 | we wanted to do something special. We wanted to do something where we could share information, |
| 0:48.2 | where we could donate money. And Diana had worked with Whitney in the past and knew that she had just recently opened up a school for children with autism in Ghana and that the school was completely funded by donations. |
| 1:03.6 | So we thought, what better way to support autism awareness than by sharing information from an area of the world that at this point, as you'll |
| 1:13.5 | hear in the interview, has only one BCBA. So we thought, what better way to share some |
| 1:19.1 | awareness than by bringing some light to this very underserved area of the world. So without |
| 1:24.9 | further ado, here is our interview with Autism Compassion Africa's Whitney |
| 1:30.4 | Hamill. So we're talking on the phone from all the way from Cape Coast in Ghana. We're talking |

| 1:45.9 | We're great. |
| 1:46.9 | Fine. |
| 1:47.4 | Hi, Diana. |
| 1:48.2 | Hi. |
| 1:48.8 | We're really excited to have this opportunity to talk to you, talk about your work out in Ghana, |
| 1:54.9 | and to talk about your group Autism, Compassion, Africa. |
| 1:57.9 | So why don't you start by telling our listeners just about yourself? |
| 2:01.0 | As you mentioned, my name's Whitney. I'm here in Ghana, but I'm originally from the West Coast |
