Описание: In this episode Ley Linder discusses his work supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Linder emphasizes that challenging behaviors are often rooted in medical issues, environmental stressors, lack of choice, or learned patterns—not simply characteristics of disability. He describes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to behavior analysis that considers medical, psychological, and social factors, especially the importance of identifying untreated health conditions and avoiding diagnostic overshadowing. The conversation highlights how living environments, limited autonomy, and unmet sensory or emotional needs influence behavior, and how respectful human connection—including appropriate touch—can improve outcomes. Linder and the host also reflect on the meaningful, continually evolving nature of their work and share “three things in three minutes” to improve health equity for people with IDD: fighting diagnostic overshadowing, using a biopsychosocial model, and valuing the power of touch.
