Extinction
Roberto and Nancy both serve a client with autism as a speech therapist and a behavior analyst, respectively. In problem-solving the client's repetitive requesting for preferred videos, Roberto is concerned about the client's pronunciation, which is notably poor. He recommended increased speech services, whereas Nancy recommends saving a list of videos on the client's YouTube account. Roberto likes this, as it can help inform his service to know what the client is likely asking for. Nancy agrees that it would be wonderful to understand the client better. Both leave the meeting feeling heard and appreciative of the other's perspective.
