  • Kelly is such an inspiration and a great source of knowledge!

    I first heard Kelly’s voice come across my radio several years ago when she was a guest on a podcast and she immediately resonated with me. Little did I know that I would meet her days later, not even knowing she was local to me. The first time I met her she seemed so familiar and I couldn’t figure out why and then it hit me! Since then Kelly has become a dear friend but I still love listening to her through my speakers as well. She’s a compassionate, inquisitive and inspirational resource for a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 50 - Body Before Brain: Unlock Learning with Sarah Collins
Q: What is a simple, everyday hack parents can start with to support readiness without adding a big burden?
Focus on observing your child, reduce 'academic push' during dysregulated moments, and use short, structured playful activities that promote coordination and sensory regulation to build toward more traditional learning tasks when the child is ready.
Ep. 50 - Body Before Brain: Unlock Learning with Sarah Collins
Q: How do retained reflexes impact learning and what can parents do at home?
Reflexes like Moro can keep a child stuck in a survival response; if integrated through playful, practical activities, they can free up cognitive processing for learning tasks such as reading; parents can use simple, consistent reflex-integration exercises and embed activities in daily rhythm.
Ep. 50 - Body Before Brain: Unlock Learning with Sarah Collins
Q: What does it mean for a child to be ready to learn from an OT perspective?
Readiness means the child's nervous system is in a regulated state, the environment is not overloading, and the child's perceptual and motor systems are integrated enough to attend, process, and initiate tasks; if not, activities should be adjusted to calm and support regulation first.
Ep. 49 - Falling Behind is a Myth with Leslie Martino
Q: For families dealing with high-needs children and caregiver burnout, what is one practical first step you would recommend?
Start with one place that feels difficult and seek to reveal beauty there through descriptive inquiry and patient observation. This one small shift can initiate healing, reduce pressure, and provide a foundation for broader change without adding another to-do list.
Ep. 49 - Falling Behind is a Myth with Leslie Martino
Q: Why is the word 'slow' central to your approach, and how does it guide both learning and daily life?
Slow is a mindset that invites possibility, prioritizes meaningful experiences, and emphasizes depth over breadth. It supports balance, reduces burnout, and centers connection with family, nature, and community while allowing children to pursue interests and become lifelong learners.
