Welcome back to another masterclass episode! If you haven’t listened to the prior masterclasses, these episodes are a little different than typical interviews. They are case presentations with experts in our field when we go through the history, data, and feedback sessions for specific clients.

Dr. Donna Henderson, guest from our second-most downloaded podcast episode EVER (episode 119), is back with a masterclass on an assessment with an autistic adolescent girl. Our field is currently abuzz with discussion around autistic females, and Donna has been an influential voice in the collaborative conversation over the past few years.
