[Podcourse] Part 1: Reframing ABA: A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach for Parents & Practitioners

In this episode, I am joined by Jenny Lai, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and co-host of the 'Not a Tiger Mom Podcast,' as we discuss how to reframe Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with a neurodiversity affirming approach for parents and practitioners. The episode covers defining neurodiversity affirming ABA, key differences from traditional ABA, core principles, and actionable strategies for parents. Jenny shares her experiences as both a BCBA and a special needs parent, offering valuable insights into how these dual roles shape her perspectives on ABA. The discussion also touches on the importance of self-reflection, collaboration with other therapists, and respecting the individual needs of each child.Register ⁠here⁠ to earn ASHA CEUs and visit Speechie Side Up to learn more about this episode.
