The Parent-Led Approach to ABA Therapy (feat. Amy Schroeder) S5E2

My guest this week is Amy Jacobs Schroeder, mom of five, and Founder of Happy Ladders. Happy Ladders is a play-based skills curriculum, community, and coaching platform created to empower parents of children with developmental needs, including autism. Amy spent the last two decades providing in-home autism services to families, the latter half focused solely on a parent-led model through her own agency before creating Happy Ladders. Amy and I have a conversation about the benefits of the parent-led approach to ABA therapy. About Amy: She’s also the author of the Parent-Led Revolution (parent-led.com). To learn more about Amy and Happy Ladders, visit happyladders.com. Find me at theautismdad.com.

It’s already helped more than 100,000 kids, including my crew here at home. Kids play on a tablet or a phone while wearing a heart rate monitor.
