  • Excellent way to keep in touch with the rest of the world

    Thank you so much Dayna and Ash for this podcast. For those of us working in regional and remote areas and with limited access to courses and conferences I really appreciate being able to listen to your podcast to feel that I am keeping up with what’s happening in the research world. Congratulations on your 100th episode which I enjoyed while driving back home after seeing clients on the West Coast of Tasmania yesterday. Looking forward to the next 100.

  • A brilliant research based podcast

    The 1 star reviewer seems to have a vested (possibly) financial interest in CME and DMI. Novak makes a clear differentiation between “hands on” and “hands off” therapies. Merely listening to researcher after researcher on episode after episode (including Novak herself and contemporaries like Longo and de Campos) make this distinction should give a clear indication that the older ways of doing things have now been surpassed.

    I would hope that those that support these outdated philosophies and te... more

  • Episode 26

    Although the Novak et al (2019) paper has been widely cited and discussed amongst health professionals, this episode does not present all information accurately. The description of treatment methods CME and DMI is incorrect and inaccurate, and not included in the original paper. This podcasts representation of these treatment methods in particular is completely incorrect and biased.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EACD 2026: Power mobility experience, meaning and outcomes for children with complex non-ambulant cerebral palsy (Prof Roslyn Livingstone)
Q: What does the data say about experiences and outcomes for families and children?
Experiences were largely positive, with notable gains in social participation, play, and a sense of independence through interdependence, though challenges remained in fitness/psychological aspects and environmental barriers.
EACD 2026: Power mobility experience, meaning and outcomes for children with complex non-ambulant cerebral palsy (Prof Roslyn Livingstone)
Q: What were the main findings in terms of who is using power mobility and how?
Findings showed a large, diverse cohort (around 916 children across 21 countries) with many GMFCS 4–5 participants; most used joysticks or switches, but there were notable variations and some high-functioning users among higher impairment levels, influenced by context and access.
EACD 2026: Power mobility experience, meaning and outcomes for children with complex non-ambulant cerebral palsy (Prof Roslyn Livingstone)
Q: What was included in this scoping review and what was excluded?
The review included all primary studies and qualitative studies without restricting publication status or language, while excluding other reviews and non-primary pieces like descriptive, opinion, or newspaper articles; it mapped a wide range of sources to capture the landscape of power mobility use.
EACD 2026: Avoid the tyranny of orthodoxy, the F-words, goal setting and real life application (Dr Brian Hoare)
Q: Brian, how would you describe to a parent or clinician what function is from your perspective?
Function means helping the child achieve what is meaningful for them and their family, not forcing a particular movement pattern; the goal is for the child to do what they need to do in daily life, in the most efficient way possible.
EACD 2026: Neurowashing in Early Intervention: A Review of Neuroscience Rhetoric and an Appraisal Tool. (Dr Álvaro Hidalgo-Robles)
Q: Neurowashing? Where did that term come from?
Álvaro explains that neurowashing is a coined term to describe the appropriation or misapplication of neuroscience rhetoric for interventions whose evidence base may be lacking, similar to terms like greenwashing or pinkwashing.
