Among the recent professional activities of Cal State Fullerton faculty are a series of podcasts created for the American Psychological Association’s Division 33 by Jason Baker, associate professor of child and adolescent studies and co-director of the CSUF Center for Autism.
The “Access Division 33” podcasts, available on Apple Podcasts through iTunes, are interviews of leaders in the field about their work and why it is important to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities or autism spectrum disorder, Baker notes. The first two podcasts, featuring CSUF’s Rachel Fenning and Elizabeth Laugeson of UCLA, are currently available.
