Episode 5 - The Pathology of Childhood Behavior: When Does It Go Too Far?

Earn 0.5 CEU for listening! All children engage in some behaviors that adults consider challenging. Tantrums, refusal, and even some mild forms of aggression are expected in various stages of childhood. At what point do we go too far in labeling behaviors as a problem?

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Identify how ABA may unintentionally pathologize developmentally typical behaviors.

  • Examine who determines what is considered “challenging behavior” and why autistic children face stricter expectations.

  • Understand the long-term impact of compliance-based interventions on mental health and self-advocacy.

  • Learn how to apply neurodiversity-affirming practices that prioritize autonomy and meaningful skill development.
