Ep 33: The Essentials with Miss Behavior

Deb and Maria drank tea and chatted with Allie Szczecinski or "Miss Behavior". Allie is a speech pathologist living in Illinois who currently works as an educational consultant. Allie believes all behaviors are a form of communication. Their guest is also a big fan of using essential oils. She recommended using: lavender, peppermint and "stress away" by Young Living. Later, they discussed case specific questions regarding challenging behaviors. Disclaimer: consult with OT (for hypo/hyper sensitivity), administration, parent/s before using essential oils.

They are also still selling pink and white blah blah blah blah shirts.

For their Tips and Tricks segment, Allie recommended the 2x10 strategy. It is devoting 2 minutes a day for 10 days with your client. It helps build rapport and form relationships, it's also backed by research. Maria recommended doing "sniff tests" with your clients. Even if as simple as using scented markers and they have to guess the scent. Deborah recommended looking at the full person when working with clients. Allie chose the quote which was "kids do well if they can" by Dr. Greene
