Andrew Swartfigure BCBA, Director of Services, interviews Amy Sarrasin, Behaviour Analyst at BeyondAutism and Tom Bailey, Head of Therapies, BeyondAutism.

In this podcast we explore the impact of effective person centred and multi- disciplinary working and how working effectively can mean that children can move to less intensive provisions.
