Navigating Neurodiversity: Insights from a BCBA Perspective


Listen Later

In this episode, we met with our guest Abrar Shahin, a

clinical supervising BCBA from Circle Care Services to discuss embracing neurodiversity in children. Through a candid discussion, we explore various perspectives, including philosophies and trauma-informed ABA, building skills
and tolerance in children, their peers and adults, and the significance of accommodations over compliance.

We challenge the notion of "fairness" and redefine

it as getting what one needs to thrive. Our conversation also touches upon preventative strategies, and the unconventional methods that only people who work with autistic kids can understand like buying a child ice cream to curse
in their room.

This episode also highlights the importance of teaching adult’s

empathy and examine the cultural shifts necessary for creating inclusive environments for children of all backgrounds. Take a listen!
