New Podcast on Innovative Autism and Other Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Care Launches Today
2024年6月27日 - 4:01AM
Known for research and clinical innovation that challenges the
status quo in developmental disabilities care, many people over the
past few years have been asking, “what’s up with
Catalight?”
So much so that Catalight, one of the largest behavioral health
networks in the United States, decided to launch a podcast to
answer that very question while reaching beyond its own walls and
into the industry to discuss the future of autism and other
intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD)
care.
"What's Up With Catalight!,” hosted by the non-profit's Vice
President of Clinical Excellence Lindsey Sneed, Ph.D., BCBA-D,
premieres today on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
The podcast promises to be a groundbreaking series that delves
into the world of autism and other developmental disabilities,
offering listeners an insider’s perspective on person-centered
care, innovative treatment options and the transformative work
being done at Catalight and elsewhere. Each episode features
in-depth conversations with experts, caregivers and individuals who
are at the forefront of advancing care and research in
developmental disabilities.
A leading non-profit, Catalight is committed to reshaping the
landscape of developmental disability care through treatment
options, services, advocacy and educational resources. At its core,
the podcast will highlight practitioners and caregivers who strive
to enhance the wellbeing of the individuals in their care while
increasing access, fostering inclusion, empowering through choice,
promoting independence and asserting dignity for those with
developmental disabilities and their families.
Dr. Sneed, a 15-year expert in the field who specializes in the
development of new care models with a focused interest in
parent-mediated interventions, will guide listeners through
compelling discussions that explore pioneering approaches and
recent research advancements.
"I'm excited to introduce 'What's Up With Catalight!' and invite
our audience to join us on this journey," said Dr. Sneed. "I hope
for this to be a platform full of conversations that illuminate and
inspire. Together with my guests, we want to share the remarkable
stories and innovations that are advancing care and bringing us
closer to a brighter future for people with developmental
disabilities.”
