Mary Barbera

200 Episodes of the Turn Autism Around podcast! We are celebrating with a special episode in which I am being interviewed by one of our community members, Vikram Panchal! Tune in to hear about my autism journey and the evolution of my career that has not only changed my life but as Vikram said, the lives of families all over the world.

A lot of us get caught up in perfectionism. We have to have our membership programs done perfectly.  Then when we finally take our offer into the market, there are crickets because it's not based on what your audience actually wanted.  In this episode, we are discussing with award-winning online marketer and book author Dr. Mary Barbera why you should not let perfectionism stop you from simply putting your membership out there, regardless of the number of followers you have and how you can use market feedback to make sure that what you offer is perfectly aligned with what people are looking for. Dr. Mary Barbera “fell” into the autism world in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas was diagnosed with autism. Since then, Mary transformed from a confused and overwhelmed parent to a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author.  After earning a PhD, Mary launched her first online course in early 2015 and later built additional courses and a membership program to help both parents and autism professionals.  In her vlogs, podcasts, books, webinars, and online courses, Mary teaches her unique step-by-step system and method to help children with autism (or signs of autism) talk more while reducing tantrums and other problem behaviors.  Mary’s latest book Turn Autism Around was published in 2021 by Hay House and is helping parents and professionals start turning things around for young children with early signs of autism and older children with an autism diagnosis who are still struggling with talking, tantrums, eating, sleeping and potty training.   Resources:Free Online Workshops by Dr. Mary Barbera - Parents and Pros in the autism world can attend a free online workshop to learn more about joining Mary Barbera’s courses and communityMake It a Membership-  a program showing you exactly what you need to do in order to turn your offer or your idea into a successful membership Paul & Melissa's Inner Circle - The Inner Circle with Paul & Melissa Pruitt is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.

I know what it’s like to question your child’s behavior and suspect that it might be something more than just the “terrible twos”.  I have a child with ADHD, ODD and OCD so I know what it’s like to suspect that my child’s behavior isn’t typical and to enter into the process of getting help for him and our family. Many parents are in this same exact space when they suspect their child might be on the spectrum.  Then problem is that the wait lines for testing and therapy are a barrier to early intervention that can make a huge difference for these kids.  My guest, Dr. Mary Barbera, who is a mother of a son with Autism, knows all too well what this is like.  She has written a book on how to support parents with an action plan that empowers them with simple strategies to dramatically improve outcomes for their children. In this episode, Dr. Barbera and I talk about: The early signs of autism What she means by “turning Autism around” How to use her four part system to help children: Assess, Plan, Teach and Evaluate How preventing meltdowns and problem behaviours is where our main focus should be Click the link below for a free chapter of Dr. Barbera’s book, Turn Autism Around: An Action Guide for Parents of Young Children with Early Signs of Autism.  https://1drv.ms/b/s!AqxowX5Jqw4HgcIATW9eOKFklnw2IA?e=m3ANhb About Dr. Mary Barbera Mary Lynch Barbera, Ph.D., RN, BCBA-D, "fell" into the autism world in the late 1990s when her first-born son Lucas started showing signs of autism.

The day before his 3rd birthday, Dr. Mary Barbera’s son Lucas was diagnosed with moderate-to-severe autism, and she felt like she’d fallen into a hole. Even though she had a nursing background, she still felt completely unprepared to help her son. Lucas wouldn’t keep his clothes on, he only spoke pop-out words, and she had no idea how to even start helping him.Like many other parents, Mary took on the role of the lead therapist as she worked to find proven therapies and techniques that would help Lucas. In the early 2000s, it was like the Wild West in the ABA world. Inspired by her work trying to find solutions for Lucas, Mary went on to get a BCBA-D, and wrote her dissertation on The Effects of Fluency-Based Autism Training on Emerging Educational Leaders.Mary is passionate about helping families help their young children. She believes that the sooner we can get to the parents and teach them how to help their children, the better their families will be. Today, 1 in 6 children have some kind of developmental disorder. The increase in this population puts stress on the medical community that hasn’t quite caught to the demand. Many of these parents are sitting on a waitlist because therapy places are backlogged.The information that Mary shares help parents get a headstart on how to help their children, and it puts tools into their hands that help them become their child’s best advocate. Her newest book Turn Autism Around: An Action Guide for Parents of Young Children with Early Signs of Autism will be published on March 30th, and if you sign up now, you can join her book launch team.What's Inside:Mary shares the early signs of autism that parents and professionals should be prepared to identify.Why Mary chooses to focus on the age 1-5-year-old age group, and why she stopped giving lectures to focus on other means of getting her message out.Mary shares some of her most influential mentors, and how she’s been able to collaborate with some of them.
