  • Rewriting the IEP Narrative: The Affirming Village

    03/10/2025 Duración: 59min

    This episode features a new empowering podcast called The Affirming Village Podcast. Quoted directly from the Affirming Village podcast description: The Affirming Village podcast is “a black and white neurodivergent mama duo rewriting the IEP narrative with lived experience raising neurodivergent learners. One is still deep in IEPs and school calls; the other has walked the path into adulthood. Both are non-attorney special education advocates, with years of experience, whether in the mental health field or the school system, currently helping families navigate the IEP table with clarity, compassion, and power. While training schools, organizations, and parents to create more neuroaffirming spaces for neurodivergent and disabled learners. This is where professionals meet personal and stories, strategies, and community come together.”Link to the show notes with links to key discussion points and other ways to view or hear the episode here: ⁠https://affectautism.com/2025/10/03/the-affirming-village/Consider joi

  • Let's Talk About Essential Floortime Dynamics

    19/09/2025 Duración: 52min

    Thank you, Floortimers, for the years of learning! This episode, number 290, the first episode of Season 11, features Sophia Ashman, a DIR practitioner in Los Angeles, California who currently works in preschools and provides in-home therapy. She has been a Floortimer for 25 years and was one of my son's first therapists at his school which is how we met, but we quickly became friends and I miss her tremendously and want her to move back to Canada! The philosophy that she strongly believes in is that the children she works with need to be seen, be heard, and feel understood.
