Jacquelyn Fede is a developmental psychologist and autistic self-advocate and Amy Laurent is a developmental psychologist and pediatric occupational therapist. They are the co-founders of Autism Level Up! where they challenge OTs to listen to autistic voices and level up our work with people on the spectrum. Join in the conversation as we:

– Explore why the emotional model of regulation may not connect with many autistic people

– Dive deep into how to support autistic clients using three the Autism Level Up tools: the Energy Regulator, the Person in Context, and the Power Plan

– Breakthrough the myth that “calm” is the right energy state for every context, and get clear on what we can aim for instead

– Move towards a context-driven and empowering model of intervention for self-regulation
