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.
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’.
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.
This podcast has been so helpful in understanding GLP. What I have learned from this podcast has been invaluable. I shared with all my coworkers and several parents. Please don’t be done! Please keep making more episodes. We need you!
I love this podcast! The guests are great and the hosts make learning accessible and engaging. Thank you!
