Podcast: Weeding Through Evidence-Based and Alternate Therapies

Kelly and Jen do a deep-dive into alternate treatments, what drives a parent's decision and how BCBAs can support their client through it all. 29 minutes. (0.5 Ethics CEUs)

Families raising a child on the autism spectrum are faced with many different types of therapy and alternative options to try and help their child. Most are not evidence-based, some may even be harmful, while others may have a different, yet positive, outcome than intended. Kelly & Jen talk about how families may make decisions and how BCBAs can follow their ethics code with kindness to help support and make decisions. Proudly sponsored by Cite Pro.
