Show Notes:

Can ABA Therapy Be Good?

Tonya speaks with Dr. Kristin Wegner, a clinical psychologist who works with autistic children along with children who may have other sensory needs to help them unlock the door and experience the world around them. During the interview, Dr. Wegner shares information about how early a child might show signs of being autistic, the difference between early ABA therapy and that being used today, tips for parents, and if an autistic child should have an IEP or a 504 plan.

This is the first half of the interview with Dr. Wegner, and the second half will be released in episode #17 where Dr. Wegner will introduce the Brody the Lion book series for parents of young autistic children. The books are a great tool for parents of all children to use to help their children prepare for changes in routines and new experiences. Be sure to watch episode #17!
