Podcasts about simple spectrum

This episode is a must listen! I am joined by Dr. Kristen Shay and Heather Grimaldi, MS, BCBA from Simple Spectrum Supplements. Aleks has been going through some digestive issues lately so we talked all about how picking eating and food aversions can affect gut health. There is a lot of great information this week about the affects poor gut health has on everything else. Make sure you take notes with this episode. Also stay tuned to the end of the show for instructions on how to win a special giveaway from Simple Spectrum!

This episode answers questions to five questions we recently received. We discuss Bryce's supplements, our homeschool decision, "The Good Doctor", relationships with neurotypical parents, and Bryce's ASD level. This article is a good tool to help identify each level and how it may apply to your child or to someone you know with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Bryce is a funny, mechanical, HAPPY little guy who was diagnosed with autism at age two and is now six years old. His pure joy makes this world a much better place! If you are enjoying the show, please take a quick moment to give us a rating and review to help other families find our podcast, too. We are humbled and honored to follow our calling and be Autism Ambassadors while helping others understand our world a little more than they did before listening to the podcast. We also feel called to bring light to a community that has experienced dark days after the "diagnosis".

In this episode Dr. Annette Nunez and Maylene Johnson chat with Heather Grimaldi, MS, BCBA.  Her passion for autism comes through in this podcast as shares her career journey in hopes of inspiring other women and mothers.  From starting Proof Positive ABA Company, to selling it to Autism Learning Partners, to being a TACA ambassador, to co-founding Simple Spectrum Supplement, Heather is a force to be reckoned with.  Heather, along with Dr. Kristin Shay and Jacqueline Laurita created a supplement in which they wanted children to have the best possible nutrition.  She is currently working hard with insurance companies to fund Simple Spectrum Supplement because Heather explains how nutrition along with ABA and speech therapy is extremely beneficial to children with autism.  Her ultimate goal is for families to have access to higher end nutraceuticals that are affordable.        IN THIS EPISODE:   MINDSHIFT (takeaways) When you first receive a diagnosis, look at big picture. Begin early intervention therapies and also look into possible nutrient deficits. Consider everything from therapies, diet, to supplements.

Heather Grimaldi, MS, BCBA is the Founder of Proof Positive ABA Therapies, an organization of highly-trained and compassionate specialists who provide treatment based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, the most widely researched and scientifically validated method known for treating Autism. Armed with empathy, driven by her passion for helping families, and anchored by her own experience as a devoted mother, Heather built Proof Positive ABA Therapies into one of the largest and most respected institutions of its kind. As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Clinical Director, Heather’s focus was on supporting families and team members tasked with implementing behavior-analytic interventions. Proof Positive ABA Therapies developed individualized treatment plans designed specifically to teach self-help and social skills with a family-focused approach and an emphasis on parent education, distinguishing themselves as trusted and hands-on care providers. In late 2016, the long-running Autism Learning Partners created one of the largest Autism therapy platforms in the U.S. with its acquisition of Proof Positive. Heather proudly continues her work with families as Clinical Liaison and a Business Development executive with Autism Learning Partners Orange County. Her supplement line, Simple Spectrum, offers the critical nutrition that children on the autism spectrum need.  Resources: Simple Spectrum Supplements Vitamin B Linked to Speech Delays Autism Learning Partners Autism Nutrition Research Center and Dr. James Adams  TACA (Talk About Curing Autism) ABA Therapy 

In today’s episode I’m chatting with BCBA Heather Grimaldi. Heather talks about what initially drew her to the field of autism and how her passion led her to becoming a BCBA. Heather eventually started her own ABA company, Proof Positive ABA. After Heather sold her company (but stayed on as a consultant!) she found herself in the world of supplements! Heather went on to create ‘Simple Spectrum’, a supplement designed specifically for individuals on the spectrum. Simple Spectrum addresses some of the common mineral deficiencies for individuals with ASD, as well as nutritional deficits often due to picky eating. Heather set out to create a supplement that would not only fill those gaps, but do so in the healthiest, safest way possible. And thus Simple Spectrum was born! Heather is truly a powerhouse and she is ready to make big changes in the world! I loved chatting with her and I hope you enjoy listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/megan-carranza/message

EPISODE 25:  Autism - A Mother and BCBA’s Story   INTRODUCTION: As you know, we’re always searching for wonderful stories and great information to share. On today’s episode, we’re speaking with BCBA and Founder of Proof Positive ABA Therapies, Heather Grimaldi. As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Clinical Director, Heather’s focus has always been on supporting the families and team members tasked with implementing behavior-analytic interventions. She built Proof Positive ABA Therapies to teach self-help and social skills with a family-focused approach and an emphasis on parent education. In 2016, Autism Learning Partners created one of the largest autism therapy platforms by acquiring Proof Positive (Heather has a funny story about this), and today she continues her work with families as a Clinical Liaison with Autism Learning Partners in Orange County, California. Please join me in a warm welcome.   CONCLUSION: Our goal is to always share a diverse range of voices within the autism community; people both on and off the spectrum, from all walks of life, with all different backgrounds. We feel it’s important because we’re all in it together! We can all learn from each other, and we can all support each other. On good days and bad days. Thanks for joining me today and for being a part of My Autism Tribe. I’ll see you next week!   ABOUT SIMPLE SPECTRUM SUPPLEMENT: https://simplespectrumsupplement.com/   The supplement is designed to provide the nutritional needs of the developing nervous system, with extra support for individuals with autism, by addressing potential dietary deficits. Working with Defeat Autism Now and Medical Association of Pediatric Special Needs affiliated doctors in her role as a BCBA, company founder Heather Grimaldi saw benefits of high-end supplement systems firsthand. Simple Spectrum is similar to a nutraceutical a doctor might prescribe, but at a much more affordable price, without the long drives and even longer waits. There are states and countries that don’t even have access to these types of doctors.   The Simple Spectrum mission was to create the kind of nutraceutical supplement based on the latest scientific research, and free from the extraneous additives packed into so many similar products on the market. As a parent of one child with sensory processing disorders and another with ketotic hypoglycemia, responsible for implementing food programs herself, Heather knows how hard it can be to get kids to eat the right foods and that includes her own kids. Simple Spectrum Supplement is an unflavored dissolvable powder without gluten, casein, added sugar, soy, binding agents, artificial colors, preservatives, GMOs and dairy. The highest quality vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients – Simple Spectrum Supplement really is quite simple.
