Thank you so much for sharing your experience and expertise related to trauma-informed behaviour intervention with educators, behaviour analysts, and partner professionals across Atlantic Canada. Saundra provides a learner-focused, respectful, and dignified approach to behaviour intervention, that considers the impact of an individual's complete learning history and range of experiences on current behaviour. Her presentations highlighted the role that empathy and understanding play in a true and meaningful analysis of behaviour, and demonstrated that behavioral professionals can, and should, be kind and compassionate in their work while also adhering to basic principles of the science and practice of ABA.
