  • Talking Medicaid, Part 1: Christian Sanon, Look Up Therapy

    Talking Medicaid, Part 1: Christian Sanon, Look Up Therapy
    Feb 21 2025
    In light of the recent restructuring of Florida Medicaid that has left hundreds of families and providers scrambling to acquire or provide autism-related services, I sat down and chatted with BCBA and Owner of Look Up Therapy, Christian Sanon. We discuss the widespread impact of the restructuring on providers in particular, including how these changes could shutter some providers for good. We also talk about what providers can do to protect themselves from sudden upheavals in the autism field going forward.
    This is the first of a two part series. Next month's episode will take a closer look at the impact this restructuring has had on Medicaid families, along with advice on how families can prepare for similar changes in the future.

  • Talking with a Pediatrician: Dr. Mary Jones

    Talking with a Pediatrician: Dr. Mary Jones
    Jan 2 2025
    Happy 2025! We are back with season 4!

    To kick off the new year, I spoke to Dr. Mary Jones, a pediatrician with personal ties to autism. Get insight into the pediatric side of autism as Dr. Jones talks about her own personal experiences with autism, how she's shaping her practice to adjust to the growing autism rates, and what both parents and the medical field can do to advocate for autistic individuals. We also talked about how race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status affects the autism field, and how providers like her plan to build more equity in diagnosis and treatment. Links to both her website and Glow Pediatrics (another team reshaping the autism field) are below.
    On a technical note, this is the first episode that I have edited completely on my own (new year, new roles!). I'm on a learning curve with audio editing, so I apologize if anything sounds a bit off. I promise it will get better as I get the hang of things!
