Behavior analyst, Genta Kapllani in "Different, but together":

The next episode of the podcast "Different, but together" by therapist Debora Zelaj is being broadcast on CNA TV.

Guest on this episode, "Beyond Prejudices about Autism," is behavior analyst Genta Kapllani, who has shared knowledge and practical advice for parents and caregivers of children with autism.

Kapllani stated during his speech that every behavior has a form and a function. During the conversation with therapist Zelaj, the analyst also explained the differences between a tantrum and a meltdown.

"Every behavior has a form and a function. To make the difference between the two, we must look at both. "Tantrums" are more behavioral outbursts. They have a specific purpose. The child in this case wants to get something, while "meltdowns" are more emotional, sensory outbursts. And they come from sensory overload. In general, they do not have a purpose, because they are often uncontrolled by children ," said analyst Kapllani. /CNA
