by David Celiberti, PhD, BCBA-D and Kate McKenna, MEd, MSEd, MS, BCBA Association for Science in Autism Treatment
In contrast to parents of children with other conditions, parents of children with autism spectrum disorders today face many challenges such as accessing timely intervention, sifting through hundreds of treatment options, navigating a dizzying amount of misinformation on the internet, hearing an abundance of misconceptions about the behavior analytic treatment, interacting with professionals whose perspectives on science-based intervention may vary widely and making sense of some of the overt conflicts facing our community (whether “treatment” is even appropriate, awareness versus acceptance, “autistic” versus “individual with autism”). Any one of these challenges can be difficult for parents, but are often overwhelming when experienced together. Using social validity as a framework, this webinar will highlight the role that behavior analysts can play in helping parents, caregivers, and other consumers become effective and articulate advocates for their children. Although not the focus of this presentation, some time will be spent addressing how to support children with autism in developing some advocacy skills as well. Examples will be highlighted throughout the presentation to broaden the repertoires of attendees.
