This episode explores how a horse's lightness can quietly fade long after the "preschool" stage—and how that process often begins in the smallest, most overlooked moments of handling. Using Baby Whisper's first haltering lessons as a lens, Stacy shows how early experiences with pressure and release shape a horse's lifelong feel, and how similar patterns appear in mature horses that have learned to lean or resist. Key takeaways: – Lightness isn't something added later—it's created, or lost, from the very first moments of contact – Horses become heavy when we stop noticing where release actually happens – Even two pounds of unnoticed pressure on a lead rope can reshape a horse's expectations – True refinement begins by returning to the body, not the halter This episode examines how lightness develops—and how it disappears—through the rider's timing, awareness, and feel. Whether you're leading, riding, or refining, it reveals why every conversation with your horse begins with how you release.

If you've ever stared at your kid's handwriting and wondered if it's… well, supposed to look like that, you're not alone. We've been there… worrying about pencil grips, letter reversals, and whether our kids are “behind” when their writing looks more like secret code than sentences. In this episode, we're digging into all those worries, the pressure to make handwriting happen before little hands are ready, and what it really means when writing feels hard. This one's about letting go of the stress and trusting that growth comes in its own messy, magical time and way.Enter our October giveaway ends in just a few days!  Enter here:  http://bit.ly/3KBPTBt Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

Summary: Calm doesn't equal quiet. In this episode, Isa reframes “good” classrooms as regulated, connected spaces—not silent ones—and shares three practical shifts: pre-frame transitions with connection, normalize natural “volume waves,” and model regulation out loud so children can borrow your calm. The goal isn't quiet compliance; it's safe, confident learners—and a teacher who trusts the noise.

Early detection of hearing loss shouldn't stop at birth. In this episode, Dr. Bob Traynor speaks with Dr. James W. Hall III, an internationally recognized audiologist, educator, and author with more than 40 years of experience in clinical and academic audiology. Together, they discuss a new evidence-based approach to preschool and early school-age hearing screening that goes beyond traditional pure tone testing.Dr. Hall explains why combining Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAEs) with tympanometry provides a faster, more objective, and more accurate way to identify hearing loss before it impacts speech, language, and learning. Drawing from large-scale studies and decades of expertise, he outlines how clinicians, pediatricians, and schools can apply this updated method to close the gap between newborn screening and school-age identification — ensuring no child with hearing loss is overlooked.Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

This episode explores how bend can be developed through the horse's body—beginning in the shoulders and hips and flowing forward to the head and neck. Key takeaways: – The head and neck often reflect what's happening in the shoulders and hips – Hear how the same draw exercise used with foals applies to a 17-year-old horse on the lunge line – Understand how moving the shoulders and hips creates the bend riders often try to fix with the rein – Discover how the foundation seen in groundwork carries through to bridleless riding, where the body leads and the head follows This episode examines how developing bend through the body gives meaning to the aids from your hands, legs, and tools—creating clarity that lasts from a horse's first lessons to its most advanced work.

The earliest lessons in a horse's life often echo through every stage that follows—and understanding them can transform how you work with horses of any age. In this first episode of the Preschool of Horsemanship series, Stacy Westfall shares what her foal Whisper taught her about curiosity, space, and timing, and how those same principles apply whether you're leading, lunging, or riding. What begins as a foal's natural curiosity becomes the key to creating willing, connected responses throughout a horse's lifetime. Key takeaways: – Curiosity is the foundation of learning for both horse and rider – Stepping back can spark more engagement than stepping forward – Recognizing push, neutral, and draw energy reveals unseen conversations – The earliest lessons aren't about control—they're about invitation This episode helps you recognize how curiosity and draw energy influence every interaction—so your horse begins to look to you, not away from you—building clearer communication and connection at every stage of horsemanship.

What turns a school into a pipeline—or a community? Dr. Karen “Dr. K” Baptiste (producer/director of the Emmy-nominated Preschool to Prison) joins Disrupt Education to unpack the mindsets, policies, and daily practices that quietly push students—especially students of color and students with disabilities—toward exclusion. We get specific: why “parental involvement” isn't the silver bullet, how teacher collective efficacy changes outcomes, the language shifts teams can adopt this month, and a real-world mentoring case that moved the needle in hours, not years.If you're a principal, coach, or classroom teacher asking “What can we control right now?”—this episode hands you the playbook.Host a screening: preschool2toprisondocumentary.comBook an action workshop: pioneeringpossibilities.comKey TopicsFrom TV to Teaching: Dr. K's path and why journalism instincts matter in schoolsSpotting the Pattern: Misplacement in special education and discovering the pipelineBeyond Blame: Policy, preparation gaps, and why teachers leave the system, not kidsThe Big Misread: Parental involvement vs. teacher collective efficacy/credibilityStudent Voice ≠ Extra Credit: Designing for choice, ideas, and relevanceLanguage Audit: “SPED kids,” “those students,” and creating team agreementsCulture greater than Strategy: Leading through emotions, belonging, and consistent wins“At Risk” - “At Promise”: A mentoring case study with measurable shifts30-Day Leader Moves: Voice, language, and accountability you can launch now

Welcome back to the Autism Little Learners Podcast! Today we're talking about a message that I'm deeply passionate about: there are no prerequisites to robust AAC. For far too long, people have believed that children need to prove they're “ready” before being given a robust AAC device. But that simply isn't true. AAC and autism go hand in hand, and every child deserves access to communication—whether they are speaking, nonspeaking, or minimally speaking. In this episode, I'll bust some common ©uld never be treated as a last resort—it's a lifeline for connection, autonomy, and confidence. ✅ 8 Takeaways: Robust AAC is for everyone—there are no prerequisites for access. AAC and autism are not separate; AAC gives autistic children a reliable voice. Waiting for readiness only delays communication and increases frustration. Robust AAC devices support language development, not just basic needs. Modeling AAC is key—input comes before output, just like with spoken language. Providing robust AAC does not stop speech; in fact, it can encourage it. Starting with full systems (instead of limited boards) builds long-term success. Giving access to robust AAC from the start respects children's autonomy and presumes competence.

A unique community in Chester in northern England, brings multiple generations together to encourage learning and connection. We explore how young children in the onsite nursery benefit from the time, attention and vocabulary skills offered by the older adults. Meanwhile the retirement home residents can benefit from increased social activity and a sense of purpose. We also speak to an intergenerational expert in Spain about the growing evidence that backs this new societal approach.Presenter: Myra Anubi Producer: Claire Bates Editor: Jon Bithrey Sound mix: Andrew Mills(Image: Younger and older mingle at the Belong retirement village, Chester, UK, BBC)

Welcome back to the Autism Little Learners Podcast! Today we're diving into one of the most powerful strategies for supporting communication in young autistic children—modeling AAC. Just like children learn spoken language by hearing it all around them, AAC users need to see and hear their language modeled on their device or core board. In this episode, we'll talk about what modeling AAC is, why it matters, and how you can start using it in your daily routines—even if you don't have a high-tech device yet. We'll also bust some common myths, share practical tips for modeling without expectation, and explore how modeling goes far beyond just requesting—it's about helping kids express their feelings, build confidence, and connect with the people around them. So let's jump in and discover how you can make communication accessible, joyful, and empowering through the simple practice of modeling AAC. Takeaways: There are no prerequisites to robust AAC—all children deserve access to communication right now. Modeling AAC means pairing spoken words with symbols on a device or core board to show how language works. Modeling without expectation is key—input matters more than immediate output. Consistent modeling builds language growth, confidence, and autonomy for AAC users. Myths debunked: AAC doesn't stop speech, it doesn't confuse children, and you don't need to be a tech expert to model. Start small: choose one routine (like snack or play) and model 1–2 high-frequency core words. If you don't have a device yet, you can begin with core boards to give children access now. Remember, progress over perfection—every modeled word is a seed planted toward communication success.

We're diving into one of those questions that every homeschooler wrestles with at some point: how much of learning should be fun, and how much should just be… work? In this episode, we tease apart what “fun” even means in the context of education, how it intersects with engagement and rigor, and where we've personally struggled with that balance.

Send us a textDo you know where the substitute teachers for your child's preschool come from? If you are like me, you might imagine that potential substitutes and administrators sit down and get to know each other, possibly over tea and finger sandwiches. My guest this episode, Paul Buckley, will tell you that nothing could be further from the truth. Paul explains that current staffing practices afford preschools and substitutes very little, if any, say in the match process and offer few opportunities to build relationships and provide consistency. In the end, Paul believes that it is the children's development that suffers, so he used his experience as a preschool instructor and as a leader in a large tech firm to develop a different staffing process, which he named Ratio Staffing. Paul and I discuss the problem, how Ratio Staffing corrects it, and his tips for discerning whether a preschool is supporting its teachers and substitutes. More information about Paul – including a link to Ratio Staffing, where, for a limited time, the code “aboutkids” gets preschools an extended 60 day free trial – is talkingaboutkids.com.

By popular demand, we're bringing back one of the most impactful episodes! This conversation dives into the powerful link between stress and behavior in autistic children, and why compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming approaches make all the difference. You'll discover how to reframe behavior as communication, support self-advocacy, and create environments that reduce stress and meet the unique needs of autistic children. Whether you're an educator, therapist, or parent, this episode offers practical tools you can use right away. Key Takeaways: Stress and behavior are closely linked for autistic children. Environments that increase stress can make behaviors harder. Behavior is communication—understanding it is essential. Compassionate approaches focus on unmet needs, not compliance. Compliance-driven methods can harm emotional well-being. Self-advocacy is critical for safety and empowerment. Protests and refusals are valid forms of communication. Predictable routines can ease anxiety. Co-regulation helps children manage emotions. Communication tools empower autistic children to thrive.
