Episode 189: Teaching Self-Advocacy

When our learners are faced with an uncomfortable situation or presented with something they don’t want, they don’t always have someone there to advocate for them. Because of this, it’s critical for us to teach them how to advocate for themselves at an early age. Here, we discuss teaching self-advocacy to our learners.

Episode 188: Teaching Tolerance and Communication

When things don’t go as planned or we experience sudden schedule changes, we become disappointed or frustrated. For children with autism, unexpected disruptions in routine or a person’s actions often lead to them demonstrating challenging behaviors. In order to help our learners become more flexible, we can work on teaching tolerance.

Here, we discuss trauma-sensitive behavior interventions and how to incorporate trauma-informed care in ABA.
