I LOVE this Podcast!
I finally feel like I found a community of people with shared experiences. I feel at home!
Generational Perspective episode
I truly enjoyed this episode and admire all of you. For me, having this open and honest discussion about EID is really needed. A lot of what I run into is just lip service and apologies of not doing better..... but not moving forward effectively. It is frustrating. However, podcasts and webinars about this topic gives me the courage to continue to discussion and push for action.
This is good stuff!
As a mother of a child with autism it is amazing to listen to BCBAs of color that tell so much about their world and how their work directly affects my son. I find they explain things in a way that is clear and concise and I appreciate that they talk about the barriers for BCBAs of color period. If you are interested in an easy way to learn more about the programs that are used to reach your child.
