Listen in to episode 10 where Barbara Avila and Kristie Pretti-Frontczak discuss a question Kristie got from the field (early childhood preschool classrooms).... What do you do when a child will only be held and will "meltdown" if put down onto the floor, a chair, or elsewhere? How can that child be successful and how can I run a classroom when I am having to hold a child all day!? https://soundcloud.com/synergyautismpodcast/episode-10-when-a-child-only-wants-to-be-held

When a child says "NO WAY!" verbally or through their behavior - what do you do?!? What IEP or IFSP can you possibly write? What do you do when they refuse to join? In this podcast, I am speaking with Dr. Kristi Pretti-Fronczak. We answer a question from one of her ECSE teams about a child who just won't join the group or any other activity for that matter. The team wants to know how to teach and what IEP/IFSP goals to write when this happens. Listen in as we hash this one out together!

Synergy Autism Podcast - Episode #8 With Kristie Pretty-Frontczak and Barbara Avila In this episode of the Synergy Autism Podcast, Kristie and I chat about a child who seems to eat constantly. Kristie travels the United States providing professional development trainings for early childhood classrooms and was asked about a child with autism who is featured in this episode. We do not use names or identifying information. Listen in for a few tips and ideas for connecting with a child with similar issues and to connect home and school surrounding eating concerns and/or needs. Enjoy!
