BeansTalk 7: OverPea David is a gentleman
01:00:04 Share

DISCLAIMER - PLEASE NOTE BEFORE LISTENING: As always, this episode is about the perspective and story of the person being interviewed. There is a 4 minute discussion (beginning about 22 minutes in) in which David talks about ABA therapy. At the time I was recording this, I was unaware of ABA and the controversy that has grown up around it and the strong feelings associated with it amongst many people. Please be assured that letting the guest touch on the topic is in no way an endorsement of the guest's approach, and this is in no way a personal or Too Peas endorsement of ABA. The conversation was about so much more than that topic, but I am beginning to understand why this issue is such a serious one for many. Thank you

It was an incredibly heartening and gentle conversation with Bean and OverPea, David Warner all the way from South Carolina! I loved chatting with him.

Here are some links to David's incredible advocacy work on behalf of his Bean-Sprout, Zakk.
