Developmental relationship-based interventions have been around for many years, but have not received the level of attention that intervention approaches based on applied behavior analysis have received. Drs. Josh Feder and Andrea Davis, along with a number of colleagues, including Barry, are currently involved in collaborative efforts to bring greater awareness and funding to DRBI interventions. They discuss the justification and research basis for the work currently being undertaken to provide families with greater options for supporting their children's development.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textThe journey we've been on together for 71 episodes is taking a thoughtful pause. After two years of deep conversations about neuroaffirming parenting, understanding our children's unique neurological wiring, and moving from compliance-based expectations to relationship-centered approaches, it's time for me to rest and refill my well.Throughout our episodes, we've explored the intricate landscape of raising uniquely wired children—from sensory processing and emotional regulation to anxiety, PDA, and social connection challenges. We've tackled practical strategies like environmental setup, co-regulation techniques, and building connection in everyday moments. More importantly, we've delved into those quieter, deeper parent mindset shifts that transform how we show up for our children and ourselves.This podcast has always been a love letter to parents who want to parent differently, who are learning to trust themselves, trust their child, and trust the process. The pause I'm taking now honors that same principle—recognizing when it's time to step back, when the demands of running a business, supporting families, writing a book, and creating meaningful content each week require a moment of recalibration. But this isn't goodbye—it's a reset, a chance to gather fresh insights and return with even more clarity about what will truly serve you.While I'm away, I invite you to shape what comes next. What parenting challenges leave you feeling lost? What topics around neurodiversity in the home, school, or community would support your journey? Send your thoughts through the My Therapy House website, where you'll also find our online courses covering PDA, communication development, regulation, and more. Revisit any of our existing episodes that resonated with you, and remember: you're not alone. You're doing sacred, unseen work, and this community sees you. I'll be back soon with new conversations that reflect your needs and questions. danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

What does it mean to keep showing up when life changes your body, your voice, your sense of self? Dr. Phil Schneider has spent a lifetime helping people find their voice. But when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, he found himself on the other side of the therapeutic relationship, learning how to live with a tremor, navigate shame, and reclaim agency in a body that no longer behaved the way it used to. In this episode, Uri sits down with his father, mentor, master clinician, and co-founder of Schneider Speech, for one of the most personal and moving conversations on the podcast to date. Together, they explore Phil's decades of work helping people find their voice, and how his understanding of communication deepened through his own health journey. What helped him move forward wasn't hiding. It was naming the tremor, talking about it with family, and choosing connection over shame. Opening up was the moment he began reclaiming agency. Resilience didn't come from isolation. It came from letting people in. This episode is full of warmth, story, and hard-earned wisdom on voice, vulnerability, and what it really means to be present with another human being. In this episode on connection and resilience, you'll discover: How a nonverbal girl found her voice on stage and transformed Phil's career What Parkinson's taught Phil about stuttering, shame, and self-acceptance Why communication is about connection, not correction How being seen is more healing than being “fixed” The hidden cost of hiding, and the freedom of naming what's hard How moments of presence can shape the course of a life And more invaluable insights TIMESTAMPS 01:10 Meet Dr. Phil Schneider: A Legacy in Communication 03:03 How His Career in Speech Therapy Began 08:54 Learning from a Student: A First Encounter with Stuttering 13:38 The Power of Belief: How Gladys Found Her Voice 17:09 Connecting Through Communication 26:22 Teaching, Mentorship, and Shaping Future Therapists 29:29 Why Emotions Matter in the Therapy Room 30:39 Transformative Voice Therapy 34:35 Shame, Parkinson's, and the Cost of Hiding 36:54 Openness, Vulnerability, and Reclaiming Agency 48:29 The Heart of Therapy: Growth Through Honest Connection 53:57 What Parents and Young Adults Need to Hear 57:06 Final Thoughts and Reflections ABOUT THE GUEST Phil Schneider, Ed.D.

It didn't require any other people.” - Dr. Phil Schneider “ Challenge can be an invitation to growth, and it can lead to intimacy, to being really open with people.” - Dr. Phil Schneider “ So long as there's life and there's breath, there's possibility.” - Dr. Phil Schneider “ Parenting is scary because it'll always feel like it's your fault” - Dr. Phil Schneider ABOUT THE HOST Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator and host of Transcending Stuttering; and former faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.

Send us a textWhat if Mother's Day was never supposed to be about flowers and gifts at all? This special episode reveals the forgotten origins of Mother's Day in Australian hospitals, where Janet Hayden collected gifts for lonely mothers who had lost children to war—a far cry from today's commercial celebrations.Beyond the greeting cards lies a profound truth: motherhood carries both extraordinary power and invisible weight. With over 6.5 million mothers in Australia—one in six raising children alone and one in three families navigating developmental needs—the statistics tell only part of the story. Each number represents real women making countless unseen sacrifices daily.The biological toll of parenting is rarely discussed but critically important. Chronic stress literally changes cellular function, with parents of children with disabilities facing significantly higher risks of depression and burnout. This is why self-care isn't selfish—it's survival. Speaking kindly to yourself, resting without guilt, and asking for help before breaking aren't luxuries but necessities that allow you to show up fully for your children.We journey across cultures to witness the beautiful diversity of mothering: Indian mothers balancing multiple roles while honoring traditions, Nepali mothers nurturing with quiet dignity, Chinese mothers sacrificing for their children's futures, African communities sharing mothering responsibilities, and First Nations mothers preserving cultural wisdom across generations. Each expression carries its own wisdom and strength.Motherhood extends beyond birth. Some mother through adoption, like my own mother who chose me. Some mother in classrooms or therapy rooms. Some mother through grief after loss. Your presence today—how you speak to yourself, honor your needs, set boundaries—creates ripples through generations. When you break negative cycles, your child gains freedom to do the same.Ready to transform your parenting journey? The Empowered Parent Program helps you shift from self-doubt to self-worth, creating lasting change not just for yourself but for generations to come. Because your love, though sometimes unseen, shapes your child's entire sense of safety in the world. danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

Send us a textWhat happens when you're the only speech pathologist for hundreds of kilometers? Meet Bethany Burrell, founder of Speak To Bee, who travels across 200 kilometers of rural Victoria supporting children and adults with complex communication needs. Her journey reveals the hidden struggle of families in remote communities facing five-year waiting lists, three-hour drives to specialists, and profound isolation.Bethany shares how her own neurodivergence became her superpower, creating therapy sessions that look nothing like traditional table-work. "If they want to be under the table with a blanket over the top, that's completely fine. If we're walking on the beach having fun, that's fine too," she explains. This flexible approach helps her connect with clients who might otherwise struggle in conventional settings.The boundaries between professional and personal blur dramatically in small towns where your GP might also treat your clients, and grocery shopping becomes a therapy reunion. Yet these close connections create rich, meaningful relationships that sustain both therapist and client through challenges. Bethany's candid discussion about burnout—the warning signs, the recovery process, and the boundaries necessary for survival—offers valuable wisdom for any helping professional.For speech pathologists considering rural practice, Bethany paints an enticing picture of professional growth, personal development, and the incomparable reward of helping someone order their first hot drink or say "I love you, mum" for the first time. Her story reminds us that sometimes the most significant impact happens far from the spotlight, where dedicated professionals quietly transform lives one conversation at a time.Ready to explore how you might make a difference in underserved communities?

Send us a textSpeech Pathologist Nikita Pinto reveals the critical pre-linguistic skills children need to develop before they can speak their first words. These foundation skills are essential building blocks that support all future communication development.• Reacting to sounds and people in the environment forms the basis of listening and understanding• Responding to people and turn-taking establishes the back-and-forth pattern essential for conversation• Attention span is crucial as children need to stay focused to absorb language information• Joint attention allows children to share experiences with caregivers about objects or events• Playing with toys provides exploration opportunities and contexts for language learning• Understanding familiar words precedes the ability to speak them• Vocalizing and making different sounds develops into first wordsParents often focus exclusively on getting their child to say words, missing the importance of building connection first. Children need to hear words repeatedly in different contexts for approximately six months before they can use them meaningfully. Using facial expressions, animated voices, and body language ("affect") helps captivate children's attention and makes words "stick."Instead of asking lots of questions, provide information by commenting and naming things in your child's environment. Use the "four-to-one rule" - offer four pieces of information before asking one question. danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

Indigenous cultures often have a very different view of raising children who receive diagnoses of autism or other neurodivergent conditions. These differences impact how families and children are supported, but also may result in difficulties when families need to interface with non-indigenous cultural professionals and systems to acquire services that may be helpful. Barry and Dave discuss these issues with Grant Bruno and Otilia Johnson, two parent-professionals from indigenous cultures in Canada and the US. A particular emphasis in the discussion is on what non-indigenous professionals can do to better serve these communities, as well as what can be learned from indigenous values and beliefs about raising children.Learn more on our websiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this week's episode of Sense by Meg Faure, we welcome back Annie Hamilton, a renowned speech pathologist and feeding specialist sharing some practical feeding tips. Annie joins Meg to discuss everything parents need to know about starting solids for their little ones. This episode is packed with insights on creating positive, engaging, and effective mealtime routines. Annie provides expertise on practical feeding approaches and shares essential tips to make your child's weaning journey enjoyable and successful. With her background in both feeding and speech development, Annie offers a unique perspective that supports parents in understanding their child's feeding needs holistically. Preparing for the Weaning Journey Annie explains the basics of introducing solids, stressing the importance of proper seating and setting realistic expectations. She describes the process of balancing traditional feeding approaches with baby-led weaning to support each child's individual pace. Annie encourages parents to introduce a variety of textures and foods early on to promote adventurous eating. This balanced approach allows caregivers to incorporate both guided feeding and independence, building confidence in their little ones as they explore new foods. Social Eating and Family Mealtime Connection Annie highlights the importance of social interaction during mealtime and its role in a child's development. Eating together, she says, offers children valuable opportunities to learn from observing others, especially during family meals. She also shares tips on creating positive connections with food through family routines and without screens at the table. Annie describes how these mealtimes strengthen family bonds and provide learning moments that extend beyond feeding. Feeding Challenges and When to Seek Help Acknowledging that not all feeding journeys are easy, Annie discusses common challenges such as picky eating and limited diets. She encourages parents to pay attention to red flags, like long feeding times, weight issues, or respiratory difficulties while eating. For these challenges, Annie recommends seeking support from health professionals to address both the child's and parents' needs. Practical Strategies for Parents Annie and Meg share practical tips, including sensory-rich experiences to engage children without relying on screens. Simple activities like music, storytelling, and descriptive language create meaningful interactions around food. Annie emphasizes that making mealtime engaging and low-pressure can help reduce feeding struggles. This episode offers parents invaluable guidance on starting solids and overcoming common feeding hurdles. Annie's expertise reassures parents as they embark on this journey, emphasizing the importance of connection, patience, and trust. Whether you're just beginning or facing mealtime struggles, this episode will inspire confidence and make mealtime moments with your child more enjoyable.

Discover how the power of positive language can transform your mindset and well-being with Kimberly Wilkerson, the visionary behind Token Clothing Company. Learn practical strategies for harnessing the influence of words in your daily life.Hey friend! Did you know our words have a powerful effect on our brains and bodies? I recently had an chat with speech language pathologist Kimberly Wilkerson about the impact of language. Kimberly shared some fascinating research on how both positive and negative words physically alter our brain activity, hormones, heart rate and more. Even just watching stressful content can elicit the same reactions as if we were directly involved. So we have to be very intentional about the words and media we expose ourselves to. The good news is we can also harness language to lift and empower ourselves and others! Kimberly created a clothing line called Intelligent Fashion that has uplifting phrases like "I am loved" printed on the inside lining. The goal is to elevate women's self-perception through positive language touching the skin. We discuss specific strategies around self-talk, overcoming negative thought patterns, and the importance of believing our own inherent beauty and worthiness. I'd love to hear your biggest takeaways around using words consciously. What changes might you make to your self-talk or media consumption after watching?

When Jena was first getting started, there were no online education programs specifically for SLP and OTs going into private practice, so she created the programs she wished she had. Jena has been invited to speak at local and national ASHA conferences; she's spoken on the topics of starting and growing private practices, marketing, and entrepreneurship. You can hear Jena every week as the host of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast, and you can hang out with her on all social media platforms. Jena lives in Newton, Massachusetts, with her wife, Sarah, and their two sons, Hayes and Holden. Get in touch with Jena: Website: https://www.IndependentClinician.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/independentClinician Podcast: Private Practice Success Stories: https://independentclinician.com/podcast-blog/ Freebie: Private Practice Roadmap www.startyourprivatepractice.com/freebie Purchase: The Path to Private Practice by Jena Castro-Casbon: https://amzn.to/4c5bivs Disclaimer: Delightful reads are recommended here with potential affiliate links.

Danie's Natural Juice Blends founder Danielle Marshall shares how a pre-diabetic diagnosis launched her into the world of food entrepreneurship. In the driver's seat - we have Certified Juice Therapist, Danielle “Danie” Marshall - whose strong passion for holistic healing of the mind, body, and spirit led her down the entrepreneurial path. After receiving a Type-II pre-diabetes diagnosis in 2011, Danie began cold-pressed juicing as part of a lifestyle change, and as a result, dropped 60 lbs. and was no longer pre-diabetic. Friends and family noticed Danie's weight loss success with juicing and began asking her to make juices for them. As a result, Danie's Natural Juice Blends was born. Danie takes us along her #dreamdriving journey and the many life lessons she's learned along the way as she's on the way to building her natural juicing empire.
