If I could do it all again… I wouldn’t spend months reading every book, buying every course, and piecing things together from blogs and podcasts.

I’d go straight to Jessie Ginsburg’s Sensory Certificate Course for SLPs.

Because it gives you exactly what you need as an SLP — not too much, not too little — and it tells you what to actually do so you can make a bigger impact with your autistic students right away.

It bridges that gap we all feel when we start realizing,
“Oh… sensory is communication.”

And the best part is that it’s on sale right now — you can save $300 during the Friends & Family Sale, but only until midnight PST!!!

Save your time, your energy, and your sanity.
Start where I wish I had!

Comment RUBRIC2025 to join my free workshop on 11/12 where I’ll coach you through writing better goals for autistic students so you know exactly what to measure in moments like these!!

Meant to share this during AAC month but here we are!

One of my favorite parts of having a grad student was moments like these, real coaching that really made an impact. My goal was to send my grad student into the field with a neuroaffirming mindset and I loved being a part of her journey.

Sometimes the smallest tweaks are the most powerful!

Comment MYPEOPLE to learn more about The Child-Led Collective- doors are open only until 11/17!

If you’re the professional who shows up for autistic students with presence…
with compassion…
with a child-led, neuroaffirming lens that not everyone around you understands…

You shouldn’t have to hold all of that alone.

Inside The Child-Led Collective, you get the kind of support that actually matches the heart and intention you bring to this work:

✔️ Community with people who get it
✔️ Tools that save you hours each week
✔️ Rubrics, templates, and guidance that make your work easier
✔️ Coaching + clarity so you don’t waste time overthinking
✔️ A place where your values aren’t questioned — they’re shared

Because being child-led in systems that still default to compliance can feel lonely… even when you’re doing everything “right.”

This is where that loneliness ends.

If you’re ready for support that actually aligns with the way you want to show up…

Advocacy is rarely convenient.
It usually shows up when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or trying to just “get through” your day.
But our kids deserve adults who don’t look away.

I’m not talking about abuse or neglect; we know we must report these things, that’s not up for debate.

I’m talking about all of the little ways adults are mean, dismissive, or unkind to autistic kids. Or moments where they suggest or use strategies that we know are outdated at best and demeaning at worst.

Have you ever hesitated to speak up?
What made it hard?

We punish autistic kids for the exact sensory strategies adults use every day… and honestly, I can’t stop thinking about it.

Why is a child taking their shoes off “noncompliant”…
but me doing it at 35 is “listening to my body”?

Where did this double standard even come from?
And why are we still enforcing it?

Let’s talk about it…
Have you seen a kid get corrected for something that would never be a problem for an adult?

Share your stories below — the examples matter.

What are some of the things you do today that would surprise your old self? Let’s talk about how far we’ve come in the comments 🩷

A hill I am willing to 💀 on.

If you’re *requiring* an autistic child to say/do something to get something, you’re not teaching them authentic communication, you’re teaching them to perform for adults.

It’s no wonder that these skills “progress” in highly structured 1:1 settings but don’t generalize. Skills only truly carry over when they’re meaningful and valuable to the child.

Instead of this, what if we focused on building relationships on trust and respect with autistic students so that they WANTED to interact with us? That’s honestly the best part of a child-led approach. Kids don’t want to leave their sessions because they feel seen.
