Amelia Bowler (@BehaviourAmelia), author of The Parent's Guide to Oppositional Defiant Disorder: Your Questions Answered, joins me in Session 134 to talk about her work and personal experiences in supporting individuals with ODD.
In this podcast, Amelia demystifies the term ODD and distinguishes it from other emotional/behavioral disorders. She also discusses the importance of developing relationships with individuals with ODD prior to applying first/then or if/then contingencies.
We finish the show by discussing some strategies that may be more successful for individuals with ODD, as well as provide suggestions for further reading.
Here are the links to the resources that were discussed:
