Ep 9: Topics that Transcend the IEP Process; Presuming Competence and Confronting Bias as an Ongoing Practice, with Lisa Baskin Wright and Dr. Destiny Huff

This episode is a "part 2" of Episode 8!

Colleen is joined by Dr. Destiny Huff and Lisa Baskin Wright for a thought-provoking conversation that spans many topics and two episodes! In this episode they discuss the nuances of ABA therapy and why the choice to participate in ABA therapy, is a multi-layered decision for Black and Brown families. They talk about how not ALL behavior is in fact, communication!

Lisa provides a human-centered perspective on PDA-persistent drive for autonomy and how it can look very differently depending if the learner shows internalizing or externalizing responses.

Dr. Huff gives valuable perspectives on what IEP teams can do differently to engage in true collaboration with outside professionals and parents of disabled learners.

The group also shares some laughs over the absurdity of complaining about buying school supplies and how this manufactured outrage pits parents against teachers who are suffering from the same systemic failures as their students. You won't want to miss this discussion!
