Episode 84: Supporting Parents Outside of the Classroom with Autism Consultant Molly Johnson

When you hear the words special educator does your brain immediately go to a teacher within a classroom setting who is managing a caseload of students, providing individualized instruction and supporting student’s cognitive, behavioral and physical needs?

Yep…mine does too. But being in the classroom isn’t for everyone and having A degree in special education can actually prepare you for a wide range of jobs outside of teaching. My guest today is here to share one of those jobs. Molly Johnson is an Autism Consultant and provides a Membership for parents looking for support with behavior and skill development. Molly left the classroom a few years ago and through her experience as a teacher she is able to provide services to empower parents to confidently support their child’s individual needs. 

Molly and I discuss:

• What exactly is an autism consultant
• How to get started as an autism consultant
• How to help parents understand their child’s challenging behavior and support behavior needs
• Some things parents can start implementing today to have a positive impact on their child’s behaviors
• The role the environment plays when it comes to challenging behaviors
• How visual supports play a role in an autistic child’s environment
• How parents can get started with visuals
