For BCBA Maggie Haraburda, founder of Unfurling Littles, play is anything that sparks joy. Her approach to ABA therapy blends child-led play with ACT-integrated strategies, centering on the child's motivation and individuality.In our conversation, Maggie highlights the “Dos and Don'ts” of play therapy: join the child's world before introducing new elements, build from what already brings them joy, and act as a play partner—not a director.Her neurodiversity-affirming lens means recognizing all forms of communication, supporting autonomy, self-regulation, and self-advocacy, and honoring each child's unique strengths.Maggie doesn't shy away from anti-ABA concerns. She acknowledges past harms and invites curiosity over defensiveness, aiming always to grow and improve her practice.She also offers an ACE-approved CEU, Supporting Play the Neurodiversity Affirming Way.  Expanding your playbook is important.

For Jamie Hubble, a physical therapist in the Virtua early intervention program, working with children aged zero to three isn't just a job—it's a calling. In this role, she visits families in their homes, empowering parents with strategies to help their little ones learn to crawl, walk, and explore their world.   But one little girl, Penny, captured not just Jamie's professional expertise, but her heart. Penny's diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) presented unique challenges. Undeterred, Jamie and her husband, Kyle, embarked on a mission to find alternative ways to support Penny's development. What began as dedicated therapy evolved into an undeniable bond, culminating in their decision to adopt Penny. Today, Penny is a thriving, vibrant child, a testament to their love and commitment.   Jamie's story beautifully illustrates how a therapist's dedication can extend far beyond clinical care, blossoming into the creation of a cherished family.

Today, Emily Kircher-Morris and Meredith Polsky look into the complexities of selective mutism, exploring its definitions, the importance of language in understanding it, and the personal experiences that led Meredith to specialize in this area. They discuss the myths surrounding selective mutism, and its manifestation as an anxiety disorder rather than a choice or a form of shyness.

They explore the challenges of diagnosis, and provide effective therapeutic techniques. This is a must-listen for adults supporting children with selective mutism. TAKEAWAYS Selective mutism is often misunderstood as a choice. Language matters in discussing selective mutism. The term 'situational mutism' is gaining popularity. Parents play a crucial role in treatment. Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder, not shyness. Pushing children to speak can increase anxiety. There is a lack of awareness among clinicians about selective mutism. Selective mutism can complicate the diagnosis of autism. Children with selective mutism may not exhibit typical anxiety responses. Effective communication strategies are crucial for children with selective mutism.

Physician and psychologist Heidi Feldman is a pioneer in the field of developmental behavioral pediatrics who says that the world's understanding of childhood disability is changing and so too are the ways we approach it. Where once institutionalization was common, today we find integrative, family-centered approaches, charting a more humane, hopeful path forward. For example, for children born prematurely with increased likelihood of disability, increasing skin-to-skin contact – what is called  “kangaroo care” – can literally reshape that child's brain development, she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Early Detection and Early Intervention - where are we now (and what does the future hold)?The last time we had Alicia on the pod, we spoke about the Cochrane Review she led titled “Early developmental intervention programmes provided post hospital discharge to prevent motor and cognitive impairment in preterm infants” which was published in 2024. In this week's episode, we thought we'd ask Alicia about the state of early intervention right now and what the provision of therapy looks like within our current context of early detection and early intervention for children with cerebral palsy.There have been some rather significant developments in the early detection and early intervention space over the past 20 years. From the rapid technological advances to the value of co-design and involvement of people with lived experience, we now have some impressive evidence to guide our clinical pathways. However, what is very clear now is the vital importance of implementation. The industry has generated substantial knowledge that now needs to be implemented into practice with one particularly important aspect that we must include - family involvement and well-being. Alicia speaks ever so passionately about our role as therapists and I cannot help but to feel even more compelled to ensure that the family is at the centre of everything we do. It is exciting to know that we have the evidence now, so it's time to put it into practice and it can start in your very next session.https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/profile/27041-alicia-spittle

If your hair is thinning, shedding, or simply not what it used to be—and nothing seems to work—this episode is for you. Because what if the story you've been told about balding… is wrong? For decades, hair loss has felt like fate: genetic, inevitable, untouchable. But science is catching up to something deeper—something root-level. What if the real culprit behind age-related hair loss is cellular dysfunction? And what if we could change that? In this episode, Dave Asprey uncovers the cellular biology of hair thinning with longevity researcher Carolina Reis Oliveira. You'll learn how senescent cells (aka zombie cells) hijack your scalp, disrupt follicle function, and silently accelerate hair loss—and how a breakthrough peptide might stop it cold. Carolina reveals brand-new clinical research on OS-01, a molecule shown to increase hair density by 40% in just 6 months. But this isn't a product pitch—it's a paradigm shift. Together, they explore the hidden drivers of hair aging, from hormone shifts and stress cascades to microbiome imbalances and inflammation, plus the real science behind what can actually regrow hair. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How “zombie cells” (senescent cells) sabotage your hair from the inside out • The science behind the OS-01 peptide and how it reverses visible hair thinning • Why thinning hair isn't just genetic—and what else is driving it • How stress, hormones, and aging collide to trigger follicle dysfunction • What your scalp microbiome has to do with regrowth and hair density • How to stack red light, peptides, and topicals for real, measurable results ***Visit oneskin.co/DAVE and use code DAVE for and additional 15% off.*** Resources: • Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • OneSkin Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/oneskin.co/ • OneSkin Website: https://www.oneskin.co/ • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey's Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com Timestamps: • 00:00 — Trailer • 01:52 — Intro • 02:59 — Is Aging Optional for Your Scalp? • 04:03 — Understanding Scalp and Hair Aging • 05:06 — The Role of Senescent Cells in Hair Loss • 07:25 — Hormonal Influences on Hair Health • 16:10 — Peptide Solutions for Hair Thinning • 18:05 — Clinical Studies and Results • 20:29 — Future of Hair Loss Treatments • 30:16 — Nutritional and Lifestyle Factors • 36:40 — Addressing Senescent Cells and Hair Growth • 37:29 — Minoxidil: Oral vs. Topical Use • 39:32 — Personal Experience with Hair Products • 40:25 — Combining Therapies for Hair Growth • 46:06 — Nutritional Factors in Hair Health • 52:20 — Sun Exposure and Hair Health • 56:40 — Coffee and Hair Growth • 01:00:01 — Launching the New Hair Product See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

April 11, 2025 - The state budget adopted in 2024 included a much needed rate increase for early intervention providers, but that support hasn't been realized and the Hochul administration has implemented cuts to reimbursements, according to Brigit Hurley, chief program officer for The Children's Agenda.

Hey humans, on this episode, I talk with Kristen Genovese, CEO of Not My Kid, as part one of a two-part series discussing the critical intersection of mental health, the fentanyl crisis, and its impact on children and families. Kristen shares her extensive background in behavioral health and her journey to Not My Kid, emphasizing the organization's focus on prevention and early intervention. I am on the board of Not My Kid, and as those of you who know my background, this is a critical area of personal and professional focus for me, too. We discuss the evolving nature of the opioid crisis and the importance of adapting support systems to meet the changing needs of families. Our conversation gets into the challenges of addressing substance use and mental health issues, particularly in the context of generational trauma and the stigma surrounding these struggles.  We talk in specific about connecting these resources both within communities and workplaces to go beyond conventional workplace resources like Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), which often fall short in providing adequate support. We also talk about "Not My Kid" celebrating its 25th anniversary and focusing on expanding its reach and impact in the next 25 years. They are developing a full continuum of care model that includes prevention, intervention, and treatment, as well as family navigation services. The organization is also adapting its approach to engage with parents and children in the digital age as well. Again, this is part one of two, and the next episode will further explore the mental health crisis and actionable steps for parents, grandparents, and employers to support children.

Have you ever wondered how to talk to children about autism? In today's episode, I had the honor of talking to Andi Putt about the importance of early conversations about autism, and how to empower autistic children through understanding their identity. We also talk about the significance of normalizing these conversations among peers and Andi offers some effective ways to explain autism to children. This episode is one that you are going to want to share with everyone you know!  Takeaways  Advocacy for autism should start early and be ongoing Understanding autism can empower children and improve mental health Conversations about autism should be age-appropriate and continuous Normalizing discussions about autism helps reduce stigma Children are often more accepting of differences than adults expect It's important to recognize individual needs in educational settings Open communication about autism can foster understanding among peers Language around autism should be positive and supportive General discussions about autism can help reduce bullying Empathy is crucial in understanding children's reactions Celebrating differences fosters a more inclusive environment Resources can help parents and educators communicate about autism Open conversations can lead to greater understanding among peers Bio: Andi Putt, also known as Mrs. Speechie P, is an Autistic Speech Language Pathologist specializing in team-based Autism evaluations and neuro-affirming support. She is dedicated to empowering families and helping Autistic children understand and embrace their authentic selves while also advocating for each individual's unique needs. When she's not advocating for others, you can find her indulging in a good book, planning her next travel adventure, procrastinating literally anything, or enjoying time with her family.  Links:  Andi's website: https://www.mrsspeechiep.com/ Andi's resources for talking to children about autism: https://www.mrsspeechiep.com/shop-all Andi's IG account (@mrsspeechiep): https://www.instagram.com/mrsspeechiep/?hl=en You may also be interested in these supports: Visual Support Starter Set  Visual Supports Facebook Group Autism Little Learners on Instagram Autism Little Learners on Facebook

We explore the importance of looking beyond physical clutter to understand what possessions mean for those with hoarding tendencies and discuss the role of trauma, loss and life transitions. Plus, we touch on the challenges and potential pathways for early intervention in children and young people. Dr. Victoria Ruby-Granger's Path to Studying Hoarding Influence of TV programmes about hoarding. Curiosity about the development of hoarding behaviours. Research on Hoarding Behaviours and Childhood Discussion on hoarding behaviours beginning in childhood or adolescence. Experiences shared by research participants. Understanding 'Struggling to Manage' Explanation of the concept derived from research. Methods used by Dr. Victoria Ruby-Granger in her research. Qualitative study and grounded theory methodology. Patterns of Hoarding Development Managing possessions and life. Emotional attachments and meanings of possessions. Impact of life transitions on hoarding behaviour. Overcoming Hoarding Challenges Importance of support beyond possessions Identity and functioning challenges for individuals with hoarding disorder. Early Intervention in Hoarding Difficulty in identifying people who need early intervention. Importance of awareness and understanding childhood behaviours. Diagnostic Criteria and Support Challenges Discussion on current diagnostic criteria for hoarding disorder. Difficulties in accessing support without a diagnosis. Potential Patterns and Findings in Dr. Victoria Ruby-Granger's Research Emotional attachments and decision-making reluctance. Preferences for discarding possessions through certain methods. Advice for Parents about children showing hoarding behaviours Recommendations for parents of children displaying hoarding-related behaviours. Importance of communication and understanding the emotional meanings attached to items. Emphasis on trauma and loss in hoarding behaviours.

In this episode of the TMA Chicago/Midwest podcast, Co-Head of the Portfolio Group at Monroe Capital LLC, Jonathan Weinberg, sits down with host Paul Musser to discuss his career path in restructuring, comparisons and contrasts between private credit and traditional bank lending horizons, and the importance of early intervention in workouts. He also shares insights from his own involvement in TMA and advises young professionals to invest time in networking within the restructuring community in order to build trust, learn and develop skills, and foster professional growth.

The EVOLVED trial investigated whether early aortic valve intervention could improve outcomes in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis and myocardial fibrosis. The randomized, multicenter study of 224 patients found no significant difference in all-cause mortality or unplanned aortic stenosis-related hospitalizations between early intervention and guideline-directed conservative management. However, early intervention was associated with lower rates of NYHA class II-IV symptoms and fewer unplanned hospitalizations. The trial highlights the potential symptomatic benefits of early intervention but underscores the need for further research to assess long-term outcomes.

Recent randomized trials, including EARLY TAVR, AVATAR, RECOVERY, and EVOLVED, suggest benefits of early aortic valve replacement (AVR) in asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS). Early AVR reduces stroke, heart failure hospitalizations, and cardiovascular events, with a trend toward improved survival. The data support shifting from clinical surveillance to early intervention?

In the second hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on 1/13/25, we begin Dialogue on Disability Week with a conversation about crisis-level issues plaguing New York's early intervention system.

(Jan 9, 2025) A long-awaited 5% pay increase for early intervention providers in New York state has been clouded by a decrease in what they get paid for services delivered by telehealth; as state lawmakers return to Albany this week, Democrats say they're focused on affordability, but Republicans question whether their policies will line up with those goals; and a conversation with a Lake Placid native who traveled to former President Jimmy Carter's hometown before his inauguration to bear witness to history.

(Jan 9, 2025) Early intervention is crucial to help infants' development so they don't have problems later in life. But New York's program ranks dead last in the country, and it's in part because therapists haven't gotten a raise for their services since 1994. Also: The new state legislative session is underway, with Democrats focusing on affordability and Republicans questioning whether their policies will actually reduce costs.

“Scaffolding” has become a buzzword when it comes to helping kids become more independent with academic and functional tasks, but it's only useful if people know what it means. Watching students or your own children struggle to transition or complete daily tasks can be uncomfortable for both the adults and children. As a result, it can be easy to get pulled in to a situation where kids become prompt-dependent. That's why I invited Rebecca Robbins to De Facto Leaders to talk about how to use declarative statements and strategic pausing to increase independence. Rebecca Robbins is a speech language pathologist who has spent the bulk of her career helping children, young adults, and families impacted by autism. She has worked in various settings over the course of her career including a private school for children with autism, Early Intervention & Preschool agency work, as well as a public school. She is now the proud owner of Mind ShaperSLP, LLC where she provides 1:1 speech therapy, executive functioning and life skills coaching for individuals and social skills groups. In addition, Rebecca provides parent online training programs and consultation services. Rebecca currently lives in Pennsylvania, and provides services in The Hudson Valley, NY and in Montgomery County, PA.In this conversion, we discuss:✅Parent coaching: It's emphasized in early intervention, so why aren't we doing it for school-age kids and adolescents?✅What does it mean to “act as kids' executive functioning”?✅Directive statements, explicit teaching, reflective questions, and pauses: How to use these strategies to fade prompts.✅Getting started with coaching and consulting: What strategies can we teach adjacent disciplines and caregivers to improve carryover?You can connect with Rebecca and learn about her therapy services and online programs for Autistic clients here: https://mindshaperslp.com/Connect with her on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/mindshaperslp/Connect with her on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/MindShaperSLP/In this episode, we mention Linda Murphy's Declarative Handbook and website.

Today, we're diving into empowering parents and the magic of early intervention through teletherapy with Glory Lichon, founder of Glow Bright Therapy. Glory's journey started in school-based therapy, but like many SLPs, she faced burnout. That experience led her to create a teletherapy practice focused on early intervention, where parent involvement takes center stage.Without the barrier of school-based settings, early intervention teletherapy actively involves parents, guiding them through strategies they can use in daily routines and their child's natural environment. From evaluations to progress checks, families and therapists work together on a HIPAA-compliant Zoom platform, making it simple and secure. Each session kicks off by understanding the family's recent experiences and observing the child in their environment, looking for natural opportunities to support communication and learning.Glory's approach is all about letting the child lead—she believes communication isn't just about talking and prompting. She follows the “Observe, Wait, Listen” strategy, which allows kids to explore at their own pace, focusing on authentic engagement rather than prompting. She also shares practical, easy tips parents can try at home, like using bath time to practice verbal routines (“wash, wash, wash your hair...”) or learning body parts during soaping up.Check out Glow Bright Therapy on Instagram or visit their website to learn more!#autism #speectherapyWhat's Inside:Proving teletherapy to support and empower parents.What does child-led, natural environment teletherapy look like?Habit stacking communication opportunities throughout meaningful routines.Mentioned In This Episode:Glow Bright Therapyglowbrighttherapy (@glowbright_therapy) on InstagramJoin us in the ABA SPEECH Connection MembershipRose Griffin (@abaspeechbyrose) on Instagram
