Introduction
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.
Neurodiversity Affirming Approach
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.
