Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Keene

When raising a child with autism, ADHD, or sensory challenges, many families focus primarily on child-centered therapy. While occupational therapy, speech therapy, and behavior therapy are incredibly important, family support is just as crucial for long-term success. At Pure Hearts Therapy, we believe real change happens when parents are empowered too.  In a recent episode of the Autism Family Resource Podcast, Brian Keene sat down with Lisa Chan, a parent coach, pediatric occupational therapist, and expert in child behavior, to discuss how parents can transform family dynamics and empower their child's emotional growth. Why Family Support Matters in Autism Therapy As Lisa explains, parents are the most important factor in a child's progress.  Therapists may only see a child once or twice a week—but parents guide daily routines, manage emotions in real-time, and provide the secure foundation that every child needs. Without strong family dynamics, even the best therapy services can't create lasting change. That's why autism family support and parent coaching for autism are becoming such essential resources today. Emotional Regulation: The Foundation of Growth One of the key areas Lisa focuses on is emotional regulation strategies.  Children are not born knowing how to manage big emotions. They learn it by experiencing it alongside a regulated adult. Co-regulation—the process where parents model emotional calmness—helps children build their own ability to stay calm during challenges.  It's not about suppressing emotions or “just staying calm” on the surface. It's about truly understanding and validating your child's feelings while staying grounded yourself. ✅ Tip: Practice noticing your own emotional triggers. During your child's meltdown, focus on staying steady, not perfect. Your child will learn from your energy more than your words. Setting Boundaries Builds Security Many families worry that firm boundaries might upset their child more—but Lisa emphasizes the opposite:  Firm, loving boundaries create emotional safety. Children thrive when expectations are clear and consistent.  When boundaries constantly shift, children feel uncertain, which can lead to more meltdowns, anxiety, and resistance. ✅ Tip: Stick to your “no” when necessary—with kindness and validation.  For example, "I know you really want that candy, and it's okay to feel upset. We're not getting it today, but I'm here with you." This approach supports secure attachment and builds resilience over time. Social Skills Struggles: How Parents Can Help Another common concern for families today is helping children with autism develop social skills.  If a child struggles with emotional regulation or reading social cues, they may feel isolated or left out at school or on the playground. Instead of hoping they'll "figure it out," Lisa recommends active social skills coaching. ✅ Tip: Practice role-playing common social situations at home. Pretend to be another child and guide your child through ways to join games, start conversations, or handle conflict. This kind of practice can build confidence and reduce social anxiety—key parts of social skills support for autism. Final Words of Encouragement for Parents Lisa shares a powerful reminder: "If you're noticing struggles—whether it's with your child or your own confidence as a parent—don't wait. Get support now. Early intervention helps both children and families thrive long-term." Today's families are carrying more stress than ever.  Between social media comparisons, isolation from extended family, and the daily demands of parenting, seeking help for yourself is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Brian Keene has written so many damn books! …and I had never read any of them.   This absolute horror faux-pas (and my embarrassment) is the reason that it's taken so long to get Brian on the show. But I set a week aside and read as many Keene books as I could and here we are… on a leisurely stroll through Brian's life and career,both of which he has devoted to stories of really nasty s*** happening to undeserving people. We talk abouthis bleak coming-of-age novel, Ghoul, his story of a homicidal nightfrom hell, The Complex, and his sombre study of mortality and writing inthe 21st century, The End of the Road. And between all that we cover hope and nihilism, we ask if horror could help shore up the failing centre, and Brian talks me through all the great writers I missed when I wasn't paying enough attention to horror. Enjoy!   Other books mentioned: The Rising (2003), by Brian Keene Entombed (2011), by Brian Keene Ghoul (2007), by Brian Keene End of the Road (2020), by Brian Keene The Cellar (1980), by Richard Laymon The Beast House (1986), by Richard Laymon The Island (1995), by Richard Laymon A Writer's Tale (1998), by Richard Laymon The Girl Next Door (1989), by Jack Ketchum Survivor (2002), by J.F.

In this episode of the Autism Family Resource Podcast, host Brian Keene sits down with Lydia Mackay and Stacey Dover, speech-language pathologists from the Phenix area, to delve into the world of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). They discuss the importance of communication, language acquisition, and the various communication options, such as AAC devices. This is the first part of a three-part series to provide valuable insights and guidance for parents of non-speaking or special needs children. Guests: Lydia Mackay and Stacey Dover are speech-language pathologists based in the Phenix area. They specialize in working with individuals who use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) in various settings, such as schools and homes. They have experience providing evaluations and training for augmentative communication devices and have worked extensively with non-speaking individuals and those with special needs. They are passionate about supporting communication development and empowering individuals to express themselves effectively. Main Topics Discussed: Defining communication and debunking the misconception that it is solely verbal. Exploring language acquisition and how it develops through babbling and word formation. Emphasizing the role of context and interaction in language learning. Introducing AAC as a tool for augmenting and supplementing communication. Highlighting the importance of engagement, feedback, and positive social interaction in language development. Considering sign language as a visual form of communication and its potential benefits. Addressing the question of when it's time for a child to get an AAC device. Stressing the importance of self-advocacy and providing individuals with the means to express themselves. Key Takeaways: Communication encompasses various modalities beyond verbal speech, including body language and literacy. Language acquisition begins with babbling and gradually shapes into meaningful words through positive reinforcement and social interaction. AAC serves as a tool to support and augment existing modes of communication. Engagement, context, and interaction are crucial in language learning and should be prioritized in the parent-child relationship. Sign language can be considered a form of communication, but the ability to hear oneself say words is important, which AAC devices can facilitate. The decision to introduce AAC should be based on individual needs and communication challenges. AAC devices empower individuals to self-advocate and express their needs effectively.  For AAC resources, FAQ, and flowcharts: https://www.pureheartstherapy.com/resources/speechandcommunication Subscribe Now & Leave a Review Apple Podcasts, Spotify,  Google Podcast, &  Stitcher Visit our Website www.pureheartstherapy.com Follow Us: Facebook: Pure Hearts Therapy Facebook Group: Autism Family Resource Instagram: Purehearts_Therapy

Collaborate over breakfast with horror writers Brian Keene and Mary SanGiovanni as they discuss how being intimidated by each other helps that collaborative process, their different tolerances for writing gore (and how that's changed over time), the romantic reason (up until this episode known to only one of them) their collaborative short story collection came about, which of them once wrote 45,000 words in a day, how they came to agree on a joint dedication, who gives each story its final polish (and who get the final say on sending it to market), how Brian attempted to bleed all over Mary's upcoming Alien novel, the way they approach their own deaths, their honeymoon book tour hitting every state but Alaska and Hawaii, their upcoming collaborative novel, and much more.
