Laura Balogh and I will be presenting about school #inclusion for students with significant social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, at Lesley University's Community of Scholars Day on March 29th. Lesley University is strong in #education and therapy, so it's a great place for us to talk about how our work brings both together.

The event is free to anyone and virtual, we'll do a short session from 11:30 - 12:00.

A Father, A Son and the ABA Machine - with John Summers

Listen to this episode from Uniquely Human: The Podcast on Spotify. John Summers is an historian, and the father of a 12-year-old autistic son. He holds strong feelings about Applied Behavior Analysis after many years of stressful experiences for his son, and for him as a father. He also has major concerns about the institutionalization of ABA in autism treatment, and bureaucracies that hold significant power over how disabled individuals are educated and treated. John discusses these issues from the perspective of an historian interested in the development and domination of systems for disabled people, that are too often dehumanizing , as well as the from his experience as an engaged and loving father working to do the best for his son.
