Autism Level UP!: The Rebel Chats Part 1
Part one of a longer discussion around the problems with ABA, that is, Applied Behavior Analysis for neurodivergent (and all) people.

What are the nuances when we are talking about what ABA is and is not? Discussants: Amy C. Laurent, PhD, OTR/L, Mona Delahooke, PhD, Olivia Martinez-Hauge, MA, OTR/L, AMFT
Autism Level UP! focuses on collaborating with individuals, families, and educational teams to provide person-specific, developmentally- appropriate, evidenced based educational recommendations and supports to empower autistic individuals to navigate their days.
OT School House: Sensory, Stress, & Behavior
Today, I am welcoming Olivia Martinez-Hauge, MFTA, OTR/L, back to the podcast . Olivia is a school-based OT, a parent of a child with special needs, and a soon to be licensed marriage and family therapist as she furthers her education to support children with special needs. In this episode, Olivia and I are going to provide updates as to how this year has gone compared to our expectations back in August. We will then dive into some pressing issues like person first versus disability first language, ableism, non-preferred activity goals, how OTs address behavior, and how stress plays a role in behavior. You are going to love these discussions.
The OT Schoolhouse Mission is to provide valuable, ethical, and obtainable professional development opportunities to school-based and pediatric therapist across the globe through the use of technology.
