Episode 11 | Shanyn Hansen Owner of What's the Function?
It was such an honor to have Colten's Great Aunt on the podcast. Shanyn has been working with children with disabilities since 1985. She began in the school system as a para for deaf and hard of hearing child and eventually became an RBT (Registered Behavior Therapist) and began working with children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder. She currently owns a business in Virginia called What's the Function? She and her business partner help coach parents on ABA techniques to manage behaviors and can advocate for more services through the state when they see a need. I believe what they are doing is really bridging a gap for so many families and they are helping equipped parents!
We talked about the 7 steps to instructional control, which I had not heard of. I believe these steps are important in parenting all children. You can read more about the steps here .
