There may be two sides of the IEP table, but at the end of the day, we're all on the same team — the learner's.I had the pleasure of chatting with Ryan Hogan, also known as @TheWorldsOkayestSchoolPsych, the creator behind the popular, lighthearted school psych meme account on Instagram.We talked about the intersection of ABA, special education, and school-based work in the social media space. Ryan shared some great insights, especially the reminder that you control your own online space. Protect your peace: block people, delete comments. Thoughtful questions and concerns deserve a response; negativity for its own sake does not.As both a school psychologist and an autism parent, Ryan brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to the IEP table. He knows firsthand what it feels like to be both the professional and the parent — and how overwhelming it can be. Sometimes, parents need not just data and research, but connection, empathy, and that parent-to-parent understanding.It was a meaningful and insightful conversation — one that reminds us that compassion and collaboration go a long way (and so does a joke!).#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:Navigating Negativity on Social MediaWhat it's like to be a parent AND a professionalA perspective from both sides of the IEP tableMentioned In This Episode:(@worldsokayestschoolpsych) on InstagramSpeech Membership - ABA Speech ABA Speech: Home
In this episode of the Autism Little Learners Podcast, I sit down with Alex Lamoreaux—a mom of three, including two autistic boys—to talk about her personal and powerful journey with autism. From receiving a late diagnosis herself to navigating complex medical advice, Alex shares how she shifted from fear to confidence in parenting. We dive into what it really means to trust your gut as a parent and honor the unique needs of each child. This heartfelt conversation explores the emotional ups and downs of advocating for autistic kids and highlights the power of intuition, self-advocacy, and community. You won't want to miss Alex's inspiring and relatable story. Bio Alex Lamoreaux is a late-diagnosed neurodivergent mom of three young boys and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in addiction recovery and trauma treatment. After two of her sons were diagnosed with autism, she dove into learning—and unlearning—what it really means to support autistic children. Now in the thick of parenting and advocacy, Alex shares practical, real-life insights with honesty and heart, hoping to spark connection and offer support to fellow parents on similar journeys. Alex's TikTok Account https://www.tiktok.com/@alex.lamx?_t=ZT-8xBXQBH46la&_r=1 Takeaways Late diagnosis can provide clarity and reduce shame over past differences. Parents often feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available. Shifting from panic to empowerment is crucial in parenting. Each autistic child is unique and requires different interventions. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to autism. Trusting parental instincts is essential for effective parenting. You do not have to fill your child's day with therapy. Trust your gut feelings about your child's needs. Parents often know their children best, despite professional opinions. Medical professionals may not always have the latest information on autism. Advocating for your child can be challenging, but it is essential. Bringing a list to meetings can help parents stay focused. Cognitive dissonance is common when navigating medical advice. Parents should feel empowered to change providers if necessary. Finding clarity amidst overwhelming information is crucial for parents.

CMS didn't create a new rule—they just enforced an old one in a new way. And it's exposing the weakness in our entire clinical fellowship (CF) model. In this episode, Dr. Jeanette Benigas and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, explain how ASHA's CF requirement has now become a national liability, why CMS won't listen to petitions, and what Fix SLP is doing instead. From the collapse of provisional licensure to a bold plan to rewrite state policies, this is the real story behind what's shaking up SLP right now.We're not asking CMS to reverse course—we're asking for a delay while we fix the problem ourselves.

Fix SLP was never just about making noise—it was built to challenge systems that gatekeep, exploit, and mislead. In this foundational episode, Dr. Jeanette Benigas and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, explain why the CCC isn't just unnecessary—it might be illegal.We walk through the Sherman Antitrust Act, our official complaint to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and how we allege ASHA's CCC requirement may violate federal law by restricting access to jobs, supervision, and professional advancement in speech-language pathology.We expose the financial structure behind ASHA's business model, the myth of the clinical fellowship year, and how the CCC props up a pay-to-play system that disproportionately harms new grads, small business owners, and anyone without institutional backing.This is the legal case that lit the fire behind Fix SLP, and we're just getting started.Find Fix SLPs resources for students and new grads here.Want to earn some PDHs or CEUs with a discount?

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Autism Little Learners Podcast! Today's episode is such a special one. I'm joined by Megan Griffith, an autistic and ADHD life coach who shares powerful insights from her own lived experience. We talk about what it's like to be diagnosed later in life, sensory sensitivities, masking, and the importance of honoring neurodivergent play. Megan's stories and metaphors bring so much clarity and compassion to topics many of us are still learning about. She also shares a peek at her upcoming book Welcome to AudHD and a free resource for parents and educators. You're going to love this conversation! Bio Megan Griffith (she/her) is an auDHD life coach, and she's autistic & ADHD (auDHD) herself. She loves helping adults learn more about their brains and better understand & meet their needs, especially around executive dysfunction, emotional dysregulation, and internalized shame. When she's not working, you can usually find her dying her hair, or writing her novel. Links Megan's New Book (coming out in the fall of 2025): https://www.theneurocuriosityclub.com/book-waitlist 11 Types of Neurodivergence: https://www.theneurocuriosityclub.com/types-of-nd The Nuerocuriosity Club - You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheNeurocuriosityClub Website: https://www.theneurocuriosityclub.com/ Takeaways Megan identifies as AuDHD, a combination of autism and ADHD. Late diagnoses of autism and ADHD are becoming more common among adults. Sensory sensitivities can significantly impact daily life and social interactions. Masking is a complex behavior that can lead to emotional distress. Children need safe spaces to express themselves without judgment. Play should be enjoyable and not forced into typical norms. Understanding sensory needs is crucial for supporting neurodivergent individuals. Adults should trust and validate the experiences of neurodivergent children. Creating supportive environments can help children thrive. Megan's upcoming book aims to guide neurodivergent adults towards thriving.

In this episode, I sit down with Jordan Garrett, a special education teacher from the UK and the creator behind Sensory Classroom. We talk about what it really takes to support autistic students with high support needs—especially during group time. Jordan shares how success isn't about getting everyone to sit and comply, but about building trust, meeting sensory needs, and creating a safe, engaging space where students can come and go as they're ready. From empowering teaching assistants to embracing the messy, beautiful moments of connection, this conversation is full of encouragement for anyone supporting young autistic learners. Bio Jordan is a Specialist Education Teacher in the UK. She works with minimally speaking autistic and PMLD pupils aged 3-11. She has been teaching SEND for over 15 years and has a passion for teaching through sensory-based practices.

Success in special education is not about compliance but about connection and engagement. Lessons should be flexible and responsive to students' needs. Modeling behaviors and strategies is essential for teaching assistants. Creating a safe and engaging environment fosters better learning outcomes. Intuitive teaching can lead to more meaningful connections with students. Patience is key and results may take time. Building relationships with students is fundamental to their success. Creating a safe space fosters trust and engagement. Engagement can be measured through moments of connection. Songs and music can enhance predictability and comfort in learning. Predictability helps reduce anxiety in new environments. Group sessions should be short and engaging to maintain interest. Every child is unique, requiring tailored approaches to learning.
