Quote:
Carter-Johnson used this idea of working with Iris' interests and letting her lead rather than be coerced which she learned from reading books like Rupert Isaacson's "The Horse Boy" and Kristine Barnett's "The Spark" that promoted the idea of Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions. They also discovered the Gemiini video platform, which helps Iris with speech therapy
