Why OT Must Be Different From ABA
with Greg Santucci, OTR/L

07/15/2020

Greg is a pediatric occupational therapist who presents workshops nationally on topics related to sensory processing, challenging behaviors, and improving school-based therapy services. Greg is a huge advocate for best practice in OT. Join us as we discuss:
– Why OTs already have the skills we need to work effectively and respectfully with our autistic clients, but often don’t use them
– How behavioral approaches such as planned ignoring and token boards can be harmful to our autistic clients
– What empowering strategies we should all be using instead
