Super exciting news! 🎉🎉 Our Elevated Kids’ CEO, Amberly Caballero, and our Director of Clinical Innovation & Education, Ania Petrova, will be presenting together at the 2nd Annual NDBI Connections Conference, taking place October 23–25, 2025!! 🙌

This incredible event brings together leaders, researchers, and practitioners from across the globe who are advancing Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs). To be part of this brilliant lineup alongside pioneers and developers of models like ESDM, Project ImPACT, EMT, JASPER, PRT, and more is such an incredible honor and privilege!

Our Elevated Kids presentation, “It’s a Great Day to Play: Bringing Neurodiversity-affirming NDBI to life in Everyday Practice,” will focus on how early career clinicians, RBTs, and graduate students can implement an integrated, relationship-centered approach to care that is both scientifically rigorous and developmentally attuned.

Our goal is to inspire a shift beyond rigid, compliance-driven models toward care that honors joy, connection, and the real developmental needs of young children, because, as you all know already at EK, we truly believe every day is a great day to play!🎈

This year’s conference also offers:

✨Translation services and recorded access for global inclusivity

✨CEU opportunities

✨Participation from over 60 countries

✨An incredible speaker lineup representing both research and community-based practice

We are so incredibly proud of the work we do at EK every day, and so grateful for the opportunity to share a bit of that with the international NDBI community 🦋 If you’re interested in attending, you can learn more at https://behaviorlive.com/conferences/ndbi2025/home 🤍✨ We can’t wait to see you there!

Children with a Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) profile- also more affirmingly understood as Persistent Drive for Autonomy- experience everyday demands, even ones that seem small or routine like “put on your shoes” as a threat response. This isn’t defiance. It’s a nervous system saying, “I need to feel safe and in control.”

It’s important that children with a PDA profile are provided an approach to care that meets them right where they are!

This means:

✨Co-creating safe environments where demands are invitational, not imposed
✨Honoring autonomy as a developmental need, not a reward
✨Using relationship, not control, as a foundation
✨Trusting that avoidance is communication, not opposition
✨And, one of our most powerful tools? PLAY! Play is inherently flexible, choice-based, and low-pressure, making it the perfect bridge to connection for children with a PDA profile.

Through play, kids can:

🪁Explore autonomy safely
🪁Practice co-regulation with trusted adults
🪁Make meaning of their world on their own terms
🪁Access joy and creativity without external demands

At Elevated Kids, we follow the child’s lead, using curiosity, compassion, and play to build trust. Because when autonomy is honored and relationship is prioritized, children feel safe and regulated to connect, and learning is limitless! 🤍💫

Why Autism in Girls Is Often Missed and Why Early Diagnosis Matters 🤍

Autism can often look different in girls than in boys, but for a long time, most of the research and diagnostic tools were based mainly on boys. We see that our girls are great at “masking”, meaning they watch and copy others to “fit in”, even though this can be really exhausting or confusing for them. Our girls might seem social on the outside, but struggle inside with complex things such as understanding friendships, managing big emotions, or coping with changes.

Girls are more likely to be seen as just shy, anxious, sensitive, or overly social. Because of this, girls are often misdiagnosed or diagnosed much later.

But early diagnosis can make a huge difference! It helps girls:

🦋Build self-awareness- so they can understand and embrace how their mind works- knowing why they think and feel differently can boost their self-esteem and reduce feelings of loneliness or shame.

🦋Access the right support- meaningful support can help our girls with navigating friendships, emotional regulation, learning, and mental health.

🦋Grow with confidence- knowing they’re not broken, just wired differently- and that’s okay, helping to prevent later struggles such as anxiety, depression, or burnout as they grow up.

🦋An early diagnosis gives parents the insight and tools to support their daughter’s unique strengths and needs.
