In Episode 64, Ben chats with Naomi Tachera, an Indigenous Hawaiian behaviour analyst and mother to a wonderful Autistic son. This conversation is a fascinating crash course in the history of Hawaiian education, the ongoing US occupation of Hawaii, and the oppression of Indigenous Hawaiians. If you're looking to build your cultural competence and develop culturally-responsive interventions for Polynesian clients then this will be a great place to start!
