Episode 120 is a conversation with Dr. Eziafakaku Nwokolo, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a Qualified Behavior Analyst (QBA). Notably, she is the only BCBA in the entire resident Nigerian population and one of the growing numbers of QBAs in the country.
She is the Founder and CEO of Shades of Life Care Limited (SOL), a centre that provides assessment, diagnosis, and intervention strategies to families with children that have behavioural challenges, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The facility also offers training and supervision services to Behaviour Analysts and Technicians in Nigeria.
She holds a Ph.D. in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities from the University of Kent, where her thesis focused on “Screening for Autism and Intellectual Disabilities Amongst the Nigerian Adolescent Population”. Her thesis represents a significant milestone in Nigeria, as this study is the first of its kind in the country and will help support diagnosis and intervention for Autism and other Intellectual Disabilities because it highlights the need to create a more comprehensive screening methodology for Nigerians and Africans that is culturally appropriate.

In Episode 119 Ben welcomes back Certifed Sexual Health Educator and Board Certified Behaviour Analyst, Landa Fox. Landa believes that everyone has a fundamental right to sexual health knowledge, education, and support that meets their individual needs. She also believes that healthy sexual expression is a fundamental part of the human experience, something everyone should have access to, should they desire it. Adults with developmental disabilities and/or intellectual disabilities who live in staffed residential settings often struggle to access healthy sexual experiences for a variety of reasons. Landa shares so many amazing ideas and resources to address this important issue. From topics common to most like menstruation and masturbation to more "varsity" areas like BDSM and urethral sounding Landa has supports for you!
