Now Trending is back with another episode on Autism Weekly, and Dr. Robbie El Fattal is our guest. We want to talk about current issues affecting the autism community and various solutions being undertaken to improve accessibility for everyone. Robbie is the Founder and CEO at Maraca Learning, a clinician-led autism therapy provider headquartered in Boise Idaho, as well as a PhD BCBA. Today we are going to discuss assent in ABA therapy, which is the acknowledgement to willingly participate given by the client, especially when the client is under the age of 18.
