#157: Neurodivergent Clients with Allison Kawa

Dr. Allison Kawa is a licensed clinical psychologist and the Clinical Director at the Los Angeles Center for Integrated Assessment (LACIA). She specializes in the evaluation of children, adolescents, and emerging adults.

Dr. Kawa's approach to assessment is neurodiversity-affirming and informed by decades of work with individuals with neurodevelopmental differences, formal training in object-relations theory, and cutting-edge research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology.

In more than a decade in private practice, she has honed her expertise in the diagnosis and treatment planning for individuals with learning and processing differences, attention disorders, autism, and anxiety/mood disorders. Dr. Kawa's areas of subspecialties include ADHD, autism, language-based learning disorders, pre-verbal trauma, medical trauma, and twice-exceptional (2e) individuals.

We discuss topics including:

What are sensory processing differences?
Being a parents who helps to "drop" judgment
Understanding what is a sensory disorder?
Different types of brains
The stigma around ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)
