Black Voices

In Episode 138, Ben chats with Dr. Aaron Rachelle Campbell, an Assistant Professor of Special Education in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Missouri. Dr. Campbell’s research involves equitable intervention delivery within a multi-tiered behavior support framework focused on preventative strategies for improving student academic, social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes, particularly in culturally and linguistically diverse learners and those students being educated in underserved communities. Dr. Campbell currently serves as the director of an inaugural undergraduate and graduate student research lab focused on refining and testing interventions to reduce exclusionary discipline practices, improve student-teacher relationships, and increase instructional and classroom time for marginalized students with or at risk of an Emotional and Behavioral Disorder (EBD), and culturally responsive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and culturally responsive Positive Behavior Interventions Supports.

In Episode 136  Ben talks with Dr. Sonia Levy, A Black, Jewish behaviour analyst and lead author on a seminal article in behaviour analysis entitled: A Look In The Mirror: How the Field of Behavior Analysis Can Become Antiracist. This article was written not long after the brutal murder of George Floyd by police in 2020 and the beginning of a new social justice movement that captured the minds and hearts of people all over the world.  Many behavior analysts, behavior analytic companies, overarching associations, and certification boards put out statements condemning racism and formed committees and task forces committed to combating racism in the field of behaviour analysis.  It's been almost four years since the murder of George Floyd and this conversation serves as a check-in to see how far this field has come.

Episode 120 is a conversation with Dr. Eziafakaku Nwokolo, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a Qualified Behavior Analyst (QBA). Notably, she is the only BCBA in the entire resident Nigerian population and one of the growing numbers of QBAs in the country.
She is the Founder and CEO of Shades of Life Care Limited (SOL), a centre that provides assessment, diagnosis, and intervention strategies to families with children that have behavioural challenges, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The facility also offers training and supervision services to Behaviour Analysts and Technicians in Nigeria.
She holds a Ph.D. in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities from the University of Kent, where her thesis focused on “Screening for Autism and Intellectual Disabilities Amongst the Nigerian Adolescent Population”. Her thesis represents a significant milestone in Nigeria, as this study is the first of its kind in the country and will help support diagnosis and intervention for Autism and other Intellectual Disabilities because it highlights the need to create a more comprehensive screening methodology for Nigerians and Africans that is culturally appropriate.

Jude Afolake Olubodun wears many hats, and each one speaks to his unwavering commitment to enhancing our understanding of autism and its multifaceted dimensions. As the Chief Decolonizing Officer of the renowned autistic-led non-profit organization, NeuroClastic, Jude spearheads efforts to challenge conventional narratives and create a more inclusive, empathetic, and informed society. Through his work, he strives to dismantle barriers and biases, paving the way for a more authentic representation of neurodivergent voices.
Beyond his pivotal role at NeuroClastic, Jude serves as a coach at Autism Personal Coach, where he leverages his extensive knowledge to empower individuals on the autism spectrum to navigate the complexities of life with confidence and self-assuredness. His dedication to fostering independence and self-advocacy shines through in his coaching approach, making a profound impact on the lives of those he works with.
But that's not all – Jude's influence extends further as a distinguished speaker and service provider with Mindful Behavior LLC. His insights and expertise contribute to the creation of supportive environments that prioritize neurodiversity and promote holistic well-being.
