Many thanks to Barry Prizant, PhD, for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner!
Dr. Prizant is the author of “Uniquely Human” and co-host with Dave Finch of the highly successful “Uniquely Human “podcast.
Dr. Prizant has more than 50 years of experience working with people with autism. He began working with children with disabilities as a teenager and never stopped.
Dr. Prizant is one of the developers of the SCERTS (SC-social communication, ER-emotional regulation, TS-transactional support) model for children and adults with autism spectrum disorder and their families. He has authored 150 scholarly articles and chapters and frequently lectures on autism.

Dr. Prizant shared his perspective on ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy, which is often prescribed to newly diagnosed children with autistic spectrum disorder. He contrasted ABA therapy with DRBI (Developmental Relationship-Based Intervention), a therapeutic approach that fosters meaningful relationships in order to enhance communication skills. Dr. Prizant expressed concerns that many ABA therapists are not trained in child development and may not fully understand a child’s behavior.
