Navigating Early Intervention For Kids With Special Needs - Kristan Weisdack
Episode description
Today, Brian talks with Kristan Weisdack, founder and CEO of BehaviorWorx of Southwestern Pennsylvania, who has worked for over 17 years in the mental health field, specializing in autism and behavior intervention.
Her company focuses on providing a holistic approach to behavior intervention, shifting the practice of mental health professionals, teachers, and parents to address the root cause of a client's behavior. We discuss the effects of the pandemic on her practice and the mental health industry, her holistic approach to behavior intervention, and her advice for individuals caring for loved ones with autism or ADHD.
Kristan also has a great approach to behavior intervention and the training her team provides to help reduce "meltdowns" in those with autism.
If you're interested in learning more about her work, you can find her on LinkedIn or her YouTube channel, Beyond Behavior.
