Показать описание
Dr. Mary Barbera discusses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, with Brian Middleton, and it's effectiveness in kids with autism.

Brian Middleton is a former special education teacher and a current practicing BCBA. He is a father and also has an autism diagnosis as well as ADHD. Brian works with Mindful Behavior LLC, Neurodiversity-Affirming Behavior Analysis, through an Acceptance & Commitment Training Framework.

ACT is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (or Training). Brian describes ACT as a language model, how we use our language to relate to our experiences and everything that we experience internally. Through this process, we flexibly engage with our environment, allowing space to feel emotions and understand them.
