We wrap up our trilogy (for now) of episodes focusing on neurodiversity with special guest, Dr. Kate Chazin to look at what survey research and meta-analyses can tell us about how ABA is currently doing as a treatment when it comes to hearing from the autistic population. We review the likes, the dislikes, and the unknowns in early-childhood ABA programing from client to community then gather more detail on an area that all of us are feeling iffy about: The need for escape extinction in behavioral treatments.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
