Autism Knows No Borders

Safe and Person-Centered Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Part 2 with Dr. Shelby Dorsey

Listen Later

Discover what’s possible when you give room to grow.

Can Applied Behavior Analysis ever be done safely?

Dr. Shelby Dorsey –a BCBA, late-diagnosed autistic ADHDer and mother of two neurodivergent children– believes so. If you’d like to learn about a safe and personalized approach to autism services, stick around for part two of my conversation with Shelby.

Among other things, we discuss:

  • The harm that can arise from traditional ABA practices
  • What it means to be happy, relaxed and engaged when learning
  • How being autistic herself helps Shelby relate to her clients
  • Setting goals for her clients only when they’re an issue for themselves, not just for society
  • How to create safe and effective ABA interventions
  • The importance of welcoming new and diverse ideas
  • Resources for clinicians seeking to improve their practice

    • To learn more about Dr. Shelby Dorsey and her work, you can follow her on Instagram @drshelbydorsey.
