Pieces Episode 7
Episode 7
Thursday, 11 March, 2021

This episode is a follow up/continuation of the conversation that started in episode 6 with Caitlin about the best ways to support individuals on the autism spectrum. In episode 6, the focus was primarily on individuals with specific support needs, or "higher functioning" and this episode's focus is on supporting individuals who have greater support needs. Another big focus of this episode is once again on language-- the words "high" and "low functioning" and the stigmas that are associated to those phrases.
