We have some exciting new information coming forth from AEP Connections, our partners. So if you are looking to learn more about executive function supports in a creative hands-on way. AEP Connections has a brand new course designed by Sarah Ward. And it's a spin on a make and take course that will occur over four sessions, providing feedback and answer questions that you come up with as you implement strategies in real time. They also have two dyslexia courses forthcoming, and that will be a live focus on assessment and co-occurring needs and share some of the best practices on how to support dyslexic students. Another course will be an on-demand course, where you will learn what you learned in the first course and dive into strategies.
There's also a course on PDA. Which is also known as pathological demand avoidance, or as some people say, persistent demand for autonomy. Uh it's a follow-up on supporting PDAs using a declarative language approach. So that's a little bit about the lineup for the fall. Again, you can have more information on this at aepconnections.com. We also will include the link on the page for this episode. So please uh check into these great courses and also Check into the continuing education credits you can get through so many organizations.

Hi, I'm Dr. Barry Prazant, clinical scholar, researcher, and consultant on autism and neurodiversity, and a Brooklyn boy raised in the big city. And I'm Dave. I'm
none of those things, and I grew up on a farm in Illinois. But being on the spectrum myself, I have plenty of personal insight to lend.
And this is Uniquely Human The Podcast, a show that illuminates and celebrates autism and neurodiversity.
Today on Uniquely Human the Podcast, we are very excited to have a conversation about the journey of Daria Brown. The Dario welcome.
Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here.
Yeah, and I'm excited to have you because in a way um we are connected through the whole path of developmental and relationship-based interventions. Uh you with your history, which we'll be talking about, with floor time and and uh certainly Dr. Greenspan's work in Ichtal, and me with asserts model and having worked with Dr. Greenspan in the past. So let's share a little bit about you before we move ahead, okay? Uh Sadaria has a master's degree in personality and social psychology from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, one of my favorite cities on earth. Uh she has worked in the fields of research, evaluation, and education for over thirty years at universities, not for profits, and in government.
After her only child experienced severe brain inflammation at age two and received an autism diagnosis at age three, Daria began searching for ways to support his development. She chose play over intensive behavioral therapy and we'll talk about that a little bit more and why you did that. Um his brain injury resulted in him also having dyspraxia. The developmental coordination disorder. And intellectual developmental disability. And Daria also was diagnosed on the autism spectrum herself in May of twenty twenty four. Daria has been dedicated to supporting parents by providing resources through her blog and her many, many podcasts at affectautism.com, and we will have a link on the page for this episode, as well as the parent advocate for ICTL, the International Council on Development and Learning.
Her recent book, which we'll also talk about, is We Chose Play, raising an autistic child to thrive and feel understood. Um and Daria uh is part of uh our friends up north, uh currently residing in the suburbs of Toronto.
