In this podcast episode I get the privilege of talking to Justin who is a BCBA and has been working with the disability population for over 20 years!1 

If your not skilled enough it is highly likely that you will mistake medication side effects as a negative behaviour that comes with a specific disability!!

Many people with disabilities scare a lot of people are you 1 of those people?

For those that have autism this video is for you!!

People with disabilities did not choose to be born with a disability, however disability professionals did choose to be disability professionals!!

What do you see when you pay attention to me? Do you see autism or do you see a person?

When people you know nothing about in every way do things such as saying a word and or phrase over and over, which is a example what is your immediate response and why?

In this video I give a situation and in this situation I talk about common signals and signs that your client will likely give and show that will let you know ahead of time that there will be a negative behaviour!!!!!

In this video I use acting, a pillow case, and a pillow I use both the pillow case and the pillow as a helpful visual reference while acting and playing around!!

In this video I give different situational scenarios about both disabilities and social skills!!

A little inspiration for those that have a hard time showering!!

In this video I discuss mild autism or you could call it high functioning autism in females!!

eye contact is not easy for everyone! What you might not know is that a large number of people with autism have a very hard time making sincere, truthful, and neurotically eye contact. In this video I talk a little bit about that!!

In this short video I talk about kindness, it's definition, etc. I feel like a  lot of people have forgotten what kindness means, needs  reminders and or needs people to be kind to them!!

In this video I give a quick and effective example of a activity you can do with your more severely disabled clientele!!

In this short video I talk a little bit about clients, therapists and 2  examples of bad and good interactions between client and therapist  regarding movie theatres, clients who have loud noises and sensory  challenges and what the therapist can do to avoid a possible bad outcome!!

In this video I ask the question which is essential for helping people with disabilities a degree or kindness?      I think the answer is obvious. What do you think!!

In this video I share a fairly underrated yet solid way to reduce farting and burping!!

I am trying to start a disability travel business!! This business will  give people with disabilities the chance to go place, travel the world  and see amazing sights!! This is a ground up project, meaning I am starting with nothing but a idea!!    There 2 a major benefits for who ever decides to invest in my business  which are. you will receive a % of what I make once the business takes  off and you will receive thank you letters from the clients and me!!

In this video I talk about how to handle bullying which is a service I provide!!

I provide ABA services and in this short video I talk a little bit about that!!

Very often I see therapists and parents get angry at there clients and  each and every time I see this I ask myself why? Why did you choose this  path?

In this video I ask you why is that a lot people ignore and pay no attention to people with autism!!

In this video I explain to you a couple ways to say and remember the letter a, I give you a couple examples and help you!!

In this video I share with you tactics and information on how to improve  your clients problem solving abilities and thinking for themselves in  regards to asking them a specific question about a dirty cup do they  think it's dirty at all? Do they think it's clean? Etc.

In this video I use 2 different sized cups with different colors as a  question/test/example of a very useful color recognition game and  reward!!

A lot of people who can see are truly blind when it comes to people with  any and all disabilities, some people do not see us as people, some  people would be happy if we did not exist! So they either ignore us,  bully us, etc.

Many people do not understand people with mild autism let alone severe  autism. Many people refuse to give people with severe autism any chance  what so ever! with that said hopefully this video helps with that!!

In this video I suggest a colour recognition activity! 

In this video I talk about my opinions on and why I think social skills sessions that take place between therapist and and client are not being done well!!

In this video I talk about autism and social interaction, I talk about my opinions and beliefs on the subject!!!!
