Today’s guest is Katerina Cizkova. Katerina is a psychologist and a previous Clinical Director at ABA Centrum, an autism center in Prague, Czech Republic.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- The types of services available for individuals with autism in the Czech Republic
- The potential harm of implementing interventions that are not evidence-based
- Some of the ethical considerations to review when designing programs
- How Katerina became involved in the field of ABA
- Why ABA is sometimes misunderstood by parents and professionals
- How she views the changes to the BACB’s international credentialing
- ABA Centrum's transition to online services and how they keep parents engaged from a distance
