Ep. 2 - The End of One-Size-Fits-All: Individualized Autism Care and Wellbeing (2 of 2)
Boundaries, rules and decision making can be a minefield. Brian “The Bearded Behaviorist” Middleton, M.Ed., BCBA, is back for part 2 of the conversation about personalized-care and meeting the needs of individuals. He and host Lindsey Sneed Ph.D., BCBA, discuss how traditional, one-size-fits-all paraprofessional ABA is rigid, focused on the easily observable, and can be limited. An interesting discussion of behavior analysis and stimulus follows, concluding with Brian’s take on pathological demand avoidance (PDA) and a report from Lindsey that training behavioralists in Catalight’s Compass Behavioral model – a program that focuses on improving organization, planning, social skills and regulating emotions – has demonstrated enhanced wellbeing among clients. In the planning for the podcast, Lindsey and Brian discovered they’re from the same small town in Northern California. They share memories of their hometown.
