Autism Pioneer Stanley Greenspan Dies
CNN reports that autism pioneer and child psychologist Dr. Stanley Greenspan died last Tuesday at the age of sixty-eight.
Greenspan was known for his “floor-time approach,” in which parents were encouraged to seek a relationship based approach with autistics rather than a behavioral approach.
Countless children were helped in this way, and the importance of this approach to advocacy on behalf of autistics as neurodiverse persons cannot be ignored.
