Can you become a medical doctor and specialize in working with children and adults with special needs?
I have a brother with ASD, so I know how visits to the doctor can be vastly different if he is seeing a doctor that has experience being around someone with special needs versus seeing a doctor that does not have that background. As a result, I was wondering if there is such a thing as specializing in special needs as an MD? I don’t know very much about the different specialities for MDs, but if there is a specialty in working with people with special needs, I would be interested in learning more about this profession. If anyone has any personal experience/resources to direct me to, that’d be amazing! :) #medicine #doctor #disability #specialneeds
Are there any careers out there that combine speech-language pathology (SLP) and applied behavior analysis (ABA) ?
I’m extremely interested in becoming an SLP out of my interest in improving the communicative/throat-related functional abilities of individuals with special needs, but I also have an interest in helping individuals with special needs have an overall better quality of life through applied behavior analysis. To my understanding, both occupations allow an individual to either work in a school or clinical setting, so if there are no careers that combine my two interests, can anyone give me insight on their experiences as either an SLP or ABA in either setting? Thank you! #career-path #SLP #ABA #SpecialNeeds
