Respecting Autistic Voices with Sarah Selvaggi Hernandez (The Autistic OT)
Description
Welcome to episode 1! In this episode Sarah and I dive deep into how our OT practices can better reflect our respect for autistic voices and our autistic clients. Join us while we:
- Revisit how the podcast idea was born and named
- Explore the most pressing reasons not to use hand-over-hand assistance with autistic kids (I'll also talk about why we say "autistic" not "kids with autism")
- Discuss autonomy, sex, race, the foster system, and so much more
- Explore the most pressing changes needed by OTs working with autistic people, and what concrete steps we can take to get there
