The Autism in Black Podcast is hosted by Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHC and focuses on all things autism and the black parent experience. Our goal is to educate, support, and empower black parents to advocate not only for their children but themselves as well.
Today we are joined by Dr. Linda McGhee founder of McGhee & Associates. Dr. McGhee talks to us about the biases against black children in the evaluation process and the impacts that can have. She also talks what evaluators can do to be more culturally responsive. And what parents can do before, during, and after the evaluation process.

Thanks so much for all that you do. I’m a single adoptive parent of a beautiful autistic boy. This podcast had me shouting amen and crying at the same time. So informative and supportive. Keep doing what you are doing. I also need Dr McGee to evaluate my son and support our journey. I will reach out!
