Episode 243
This episode is another edition of Parent Perspectives from Affect Autism! I thought it would be supportive for parents and practitioners to hear some of the things we discuss at ICDL’s parent support meeting. Parent Perspectives is an addition to the usual DIR®-related podcasts. I hope you will enjoy them!
On this Episode…
This edition of Parent Perspectives covers content discussed in ICDL’s parent support meeting from Monday, October 2nd, 2023 with guest Autistic Self-Advocate, Kieran Rose. Kieran fielded questions from parents, providing a self-advocate’s perspective, which the group found very helpful and empowering. I invited autistic parent, Cass Griffin Bennett, who attends the parent support meetings regularly to join me in relaying what was discussed at the meeting. I hope you enjoy it!
