Mari Cerda is a board-certified, trauma-responsive behavior analyst. Mari consults with teachers and schools to provide professional development coaching on various Neurodivergent affirming topics. Mari’s perspective as an autistic clinician is extremely valuable to our field.

In this episode, Mari and I discuss the changes in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, the anti-ABA movement and what we can learn from it, and what she wishes future BCBAs would know. Mari’s honesty and willingness to discuss challenging topics is so refreshing!
