Ep. 75: ABA & Neurodiversity Affirming Practices

We need to talk about behavioral therapy... You may not know this but when I was in grad school, I was hired as a 1:1 behavioral support therapist for a little girl in a private school. ABA is a very common intervention that's recommended for Autistic kids. Some from the field say they're shifting to neurodiversity affirming practices. With extreme views on this controversial subject...and when we feel like everything we say is wrong...where can we go from here? What are the solutions? How can we support our Autistic kids moving forward? That's what we're talking about on this week's episode.
