Episode 1 - Using Silence to Hear the Voices of the AAPI Community in Autism Diagnosis and Treatment

Thank you for listening to the first episode of the UCLA Tarjan Center Podcast, a series where we interview our speakers from the UCLA Tarjan Center Distinguished Lecture Series. Please join Kecia Weller, Self-Advocate for the Tarjan Center, as she interviews our first lecturers Dr. Camille Wilson, Sapna Shetty, and Dr. Jasper Estabillo. In their lecture titled, “Using Silence to Hear the Voices of the AAPI Community in Autism Diagnosis and Treatment,” our three lecturers cover the cultural complexities of working with AAPI families in clinical settings, and describe cultural considerations for diagnosis and treatments of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this episode, they explain the motivation for their research, the goal of their talk, and takeaways from the talk that be applied to our lives and experiences.
