Episode 247: Қазақстандағы мінез-құлықты талдау (Behaviour Analysis in Kazakhstan) with Zhanna Kalieva and Madina Imanova
Episode 247
Friday, 9 January, 2026
This special episode of Behaviour Speak is hosted by Zhanna Kalieva and recorded entirely in the Kazakh language, creating space for a culturally grounded conversation led by local voices. Zhanna is joined by Madina Imanova, a behaviour analyst and parent whose journey into applied behaviour analysis began after her son was diagnosed with autism. What started as a search for scientifically supported approaches became a pathway into professional training, advocacy, and supporting other families navigating autism in Kazakhstan. In this conversation, Madina shares insights into the current autism landscape in Kazakhstan, including increasing diagnosis rates, the shortage of internationally trained behaviour analysts, and the critical role of early intervention. Together, Zhanna and Madina explore the emotional realities families face following diagnosis, the impact of stigma and delayed acceptance, and the importance of building inclusive supports within schools and kindergartens. This episode reflects The Behaviour Speak Podcast’s commitment to elevating local perspectives, honouring lived experience, and expanding global conversations about behaviour analysis through culturally responsive dialogue.
