from On-Time Autism Intervention Podcast Hosted by Ashley Penney and Jessica Greenson
Many parents, especially those with recently diagnosed children under 3, question what is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)? Why is this recommended for my child with autism? In Episode 8, the On Time Autism Intervention Podcast presents an introduction to ABA. Ashley and guest Dr. Ilene Schwartz, professor of Special Education at The University of Washington and the Director of the Haring Center for Inclusive Education, dive into the naturalistic, practical science of ABA. Join Ashley and Ilene in a conversation meant to broadly introduce our audience to ABA. Follow along as Ilene dives into real life examples of behavior, consequences, reinforcement, and the importance of communication. At the end of the day, ABA strives to support families and individuals to improve their quality of life. For every family, what that means and looks like will be different and Applied Behavior Analysis is a tool for getting there.
