Description
Listening to feedback from autistics that have experienced services and supports that were intended to help yet may have done harm, is critical.
Join Drs. Kathleen Platzman and Karen Levine guide you through the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) toolkit—developed by autistic self-advocates—which provides the field feedback on what is ethical and what is not. Using the ASANs toolkit as a guide, we’ll look at:
- Many common practices within autism related services and supports that have serious ethical concernsÂ
- Way to provide ethical services to ensure we are operating at the highest ethical level possible, looking through the lens of autistic self-advocatesÂ
This session is in part based on the ASAN toolkit entitled, “For Whose Benefit: Evidence, Ethics, and Effectiveness of Autism Interventions”.

Karen Levine, PhD
Karen Levine, PhD, is a developmental psychologist of 30 years, whose passion for improving the well-being of children who have developmental, social or emotional challenges has been the driving force throughout her career. She incorporates a developmental, relationship-based approach to assessment and treatment, incorporating playfulness and fun into treatment when feasible, as a means of increasing happiness and lowering anxiety and distress. Dr. Levine believes there is not a one size fits all approach to assessment or treatment, and that individual children and families need different kinds of support at different points in their development.
Dr. Levine developed a play-based treatment for children with fears and phobias, integrating the evidenced based behavioral tool of Gradual Exposure within a developmental, relationship-based model. This approach, described in her book, with co-author Naomi Chedd, LMHC, Attacking Anxiety, is currently called Behavior Play Therapy, and is being studied and manualized by Bonnie Klein-Tasman, PhD at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. She is a part time lecturer on psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
