Parents Are the Experts of Their Children | Part 2 with Kathryn Petersen

Discover what’s possible when you trust your gut. 

Has anyone close to you needed support after receiving their child’s autism diagnosis? Or maybe you yourself are the parent of a child with autism? If so, you might have felt overwhelmed or isolated when trying to decide what’s best for their future. 

Professionals like today’s guest, Kathryn Petersen, empower parents to recognize that they are the true experts of their children so that they can confidently make the best decisions for their family. 

Kathryn is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and the Founder of 2 Steps Forward Consulting, a company offering early-intervention coaching to help parents navigate the system. 

In this second half of this conversation with Kathryn, we discuss: 

• How Kathryn determines her client’s success
• Kathryn’s involvement with the Global Autism Project, and what she’s learned about leadership
• How she applies the Global Autism Project’s motto “Do With Not For” in her current practice
• Tips for families starting their autism journeys
