**This course will provide the participant with 2 Ethics Type BACB® CEU**
Description of Ethics Learning Type CE Event: A plethora of diets on “the market” can make the world of nutrition even more daunting than it already is. This course will dive into three notable diets used within neurodiverse communities and the general population. We will review the research and determine if the research supports their reputations. We will then take it a step further and discuss how you, as BCBAs®, can support healthy eating behaviors while staying within the scope of practice. We will discuss real-world examples so you can feel empowered to help your clients in their health journeys.
