Hello there…After nearly 15 years working with individuals with autism and related disabilities, pursuing formal education, attending conferences, watching webinars, reading everything I possibly can, networking with colleagues and listening to families, I’ve come up with some ideas. I’d like to share them here in hopes that others are inspired to stick with science while still “thinking outside the box,” as cliche or confusing as that may sound. First, let’s talk Mission Cognition…what does it mean exactly?
mis·sion
ˈmiSHən/
an important assignment
cog·ni·tion
ˌkäɡˈniSH(ə)n/
the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.
In summary, I have made it my important assignment to acquire knowledge and work hard to pass that same assignment onto clients, families and other practitioners. I hope that you will join me in doing the same, while having some fun while you’re at it! Through this blog I plan to talk about anything and everything that relates to what I’m currently reading and learning about and how that knowledge evolves into practical application and day to day life in the field of applied behavior analysis and special education. Thanks for joining me and hope you find something valuable to takeaway!
