Podcourse: Understanding Autism Through a Neurodiversity-Affirming Lens

In this podcourse, I am joined by Cari Ebert, MS, CCC-SLP. Cari is a pediatric speech-language pathologist in private practice in the Kansas City, Missouri area. She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Iowa in 1993 and her master’s degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1995. Cari is a therapist, consultant, author, and nationally recognized speaker who gets paid to do what she loves most…TALK! She works exclusively with young children, birth to age five, and their families and believes that early intervention is the key to future success. She has dedicated her career to helping young children achieve their maximum potential with speech, language, and social-emotional development. Cari has an autistic son which allows her to engage audiences both as a professional and as a parent of a neurodivergent child.
