- Fantastic!
Nicole presents information in such a clear and well-organized way. After every episode, I’m finding myself writing down notes and ideas to implement. The more I listen, the more passionate I feel about my work with autistic students. Thanks for such an amazing resource!

United States4 months ago - A must-listen for ND-affirming SLPs
As a newly trained DIR/Floortime provider, stepping into a child-led approach has brought moments of imposter syndrome. Nicole offers practical, thoughtful, and deeply insightful ideas for connecting with autistic kids in the most authentic ways. This podcast is helping me regain my confidence as a clinician! Her guidance is informative, yet warm and approachable…like having a conversation with a trusted coworker or a good friend.
Apple Podcasts5Kills appUnited Statesa year ago - The best!
I have learnt SO much from this podcast. Nicole has a wealth of knowledge and experience. She isn’t afraid to tell it like it is and share how she’s improved her practise over the years. I love the honesty, the humour and the compassion she brings to each episode. She inspires me to ‘do better because I know better’ and to ‘let them lead’.

Australiaa year ago - The podcast is very insightful
I initially tuned into this podcast to gather more information on sensory regulation to enhance communication. However, as I listened, I realized that I utilize many of these accommodations myself, including loops. I find that I focus better when I'm wearing my Beats headphones, which provided me with valuable insights for both my children and myself.
