❤️

I am thrilled to announce our new publication in the Journal of Research in Neurodiversity: Sensory-processing informed autism practice for child-centered therapists!

This paper emphasizes the need for flexible, sensory-informed, and child-centered approaches, and provides practical strategies to create supportive environments, strengthen interoception and emotional understanding, and foster connection without compromising the child’s agency.

And what fun to write with this group: Dee C. Ray, Kade Sharp, Kim Clairy, Sean M. Inderbitzen, Amy C. Laurent, Jacquelyn H. Fede, and Jonathan T. Delafield-Butt . An extra special thank you to lead author Stuart Daniel for spearheading this article and for his amazing patience and encouragement to think deeply about interoception in relation to this topic. I am so honored to be amongst all of these amazing co-authors.

A huge thanks to Marge Blanc for telling me about the work of Jaime Hoerricks, PhD. Jaime’s writing is extremely informative, providing insight into the lived experience of a Gestalt Language Processor. The quote below especially hit home…it eloquently and succinctly summarizes part of what Anna V OT(tag) and I are trying to teach in our Early Interoception Communication Course & why we need to validate and get curious about automatic forms of interoception communication!!!

Jaime says it way better: “Before thought, there is sensation. Interoception—the inner weather of the body. Sensory fields—the hum of light, fabric, air. Emotion as information rather than decoration. A gestalt system receives the world through skin and bone before it reaches language. No wonder behaviour is so often communication: the body speaks what words have not yet caught. A child leaves the room not to defy, but to regulate. An adult falls silent not to refuse, but to listen inward. If you read only the behaviour, you miss the message written underneath it.”

When it’s cold outside, we keep the warmth going inside 💛❄️

At Bloom & Grow, therapy doesn’t feel clinical. It feels like connection, play, and progress. On even the chilliest winter days, you’ll find our OTs and SLPs on the floor, laughing, building skills, and supporting our community.

Because the best growth happens through relationships. 🌱

If you’re looking for pediatric OT or speech therapy that feels supportive, collaborative, and truly child led, we would love to welcome your family.
