A conversation with Shiri Bartman
from Shapiro's Daily Conversations Hosted by Ari Shapiro
My conversation with behavior analyst and autism awareness crusader Shiri Bartman, whose work as the clinical director at the Shining Through Centre in Ontario is a testament to her passion and expertise in helping children and young adults diagnosed with the disorder. We talked about her thoughts on the perception of autism today compared to 25 years ago, why so many misconceptions about autism still exist in today's society, her thoughts on how governments can support families in dire need of financial and psychological help, and how the Rob Ford government has ignored the reality that liberal and conservative families are equally affected by the challenge of autism. Be sure to follow Shiri on social media (@ShiriBartman) and visit The Shining Through Centre for Autism (shiningthrough.ca) which is a recognized leader in the field of autism and providing service excellence in therapy, education, research, and awareness to children and their families.
