Catalight Research Institute and Easterseals Northern California are thrilled to share our latest research! 🎉 Compass-Behavioral is a neuroaffirming behavioral coaching program designed to help autistic youth build the executive functioning skills that matter most to them. Using Motivational Interviewing and a collaborative coaching framework, Compass-B meets each participant where they are, honors their goals and lived experiences, and supports meaningful growth. We’re excited to share these findings with our community—and grateful for the participants, families, and clinicians who make this work possible. More to come! Kudos to our team: Doreen Samelson EdD, MSCP (she/her), Jennifer Ikola, Brianna Fitchett, MA, MPH, BCBA, Michelle Befi, MA, LMFT, LMHC, Vincent Bemmel, PhD, Ben Pfingston and myself ☺️ https://lnkd.in/gB-JJebr

In this conversation, Neurodivergent ("AuDHD") behavior analysts Robin Arnall, Ph.D. (She/her) and Alexandra Elfers discuss the importance of autonomy in behavioral assessments and practices, emphasizing the need for flexibility and cultural responsiveness. They explore the complexities of supporting individuals with diverse needs, the significance of understanding behavior beyond mere topography, and the necessity of considering the perspectives of those receiving support. The dialogue highlights the challenges faced in the field of behavior analysis, particularly regarding the balance between safety and autonomy and the importance of adapting practices to meet the unique needs of each individual. https://lnkd.in/gdpKKqfV https://lnkd.in/gjBiRqzQ https://lnkd.in/g2s_FDPB

It’s free, flexible, and designed specifically for school counselors, social workers, psychologists, school nurses, and others supporting student well-being. I’m honored to contribute two sessions alongside incredible PA education leaders like Shannon Wanless, Dana Milakovic PsyD, Dana Bowser, MSW, and others.

Coaching can feel isolating when you're building a practice solo. But coaches who thrive aren't just focused on client acquisition. They're invested in authentic connections with other coaches. Mikka Jackson, M.Ed., PCC  shares with us why building relationships with fellow coaches is essential to our practice. 👇 When we connect with experienced coaches, we gain wisdom and resources. When we connect with peers, we find fresh curiosity and collaborative energy. The goal isn't just to grow your network. It's to build a richer community. Discover the power of coach-to-coach connection. → https://coachi.ng/49iMUIB

🌿 For therapists and coaches supporting autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD women— stillness can feel like a loaded word. In this Root to Practice segment, I share a simple trauma-sensitive framework to help your clients explore stillness in a way that feels safe, curious, and truly neuro-affirming: ✨ Invite → Explore → Reflect → Integrate Instead of presenting stillness as a demand, you’ll discover how to: ✔️ Offer it as an invitation ✔️ Use sensory anchors and micro-movements ✔️ Frame it as exploration rather than performance ✔️ Support reflection through journaling or creative outlets 🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube (Beyond Chronic Burnout) for: 🌸 Additional practices 🌸 A guided meditation 🌸 Journal prompts to deepen this work with your clients 👉 YouTube link here- https://lnkd.in/eD4AhMy3 Let’s reframe self-care stillness together—so it feels possible, safe, and sustainable. 💛
