Affect Autism Podcast
Affect Autism podcast was created to help caregivers access a respectful approach that can make their lives with their autistic children more joyful and meaningful for both their children and themselves. By supporting their children on their own at home, caregivers can watch their children’s developmental progress in ways they might otherwise not have done sitting on a wait list for services—or worse, going through services that don’t help. The Developmental, Individual differences, Relationship-based (DIR) model and Floortime was revolutionary in that it was the first to consider affect as the most important consideration in development. The DIR model builds on this finding from neuroscience to propose a respectful way, that honors neurodiversity, to bring out your child’s development with years of research and clinical data backing up its validity and effectiveness.
