In this episode I talk with child psychologist Dr. Shoshana Levin Fox about how she diagnoses and treats children with ASD differently than do most practitioners. We discuss the methods she uses to assess children, such as DIRFloortime, and some unique terms, such as Islets of Normalcy, derived from her work of 25 years at the Feuerstein Institute in Jerusalem. In her view, many children today are actually misdiagnosed as autistic. They often have other kinds of developmental challenges which are overshadowed by the autism diagnosis. In our talk Shoshana explains how she works to detect these other developmental challenges. There are key tips for parents, too. This is a very interesting episode. You can find out more about her in the link below.
