The Autism Helper Podcast

In this episode of The Autism Helper Podcast, we’re joined by Leanne Page, BCBA, from Parenting with ABA, who shares her insights on how utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can benefit both parents and educators. Leanne explains the core principles of ACT and how it has helped her become a more compassionate and mindful parent. We dive into the importance of self-compassion and self-care for caregivers, whether parents or teachers, and discuss why prioritizing well-being is essential to being effective in caregiving roles. Leanne also introduces the Calm & Connected Journal, a tool she created to help caregivers stay grounded, present, and emotionally connected. This episode is filled with valuable takeaways on supporting your emotional health while supporting others.
