  • Ep 188: Executive Function through the Lens of Social Thinking
    2024/11/13
    What does it mean to break down information in order to build up social competencies? And how does that relate to people with compelling social anxiety? In this discussion with the founder of Social Thinking, Michelle Garcia Winner, we explore the relationship between "being social" and social cognition (ie. social thinking). We touch on four areas of executive function that can foster our ability to learn how to take action on social dynamics that we want to do and are important to us. Get a better understanding of social dynamics and how to help your kids navigate them. Michelle Garcia Winner, MA, CCC-SLP, is the founder and CEO of Think Social Publishing, Inc, (a.k.a. Social Thinking). She is a globally recognized thought leader, author, speaker, and social-cognitive therapist who is dedicated to fostering awareness and development of our social-emotional and organizational selves, both neurodivergent and neurotypical. Across her 30+ year career she has created numerous evidence-based strategies, treatment frameworks, and curricula to help family members as well the professionals who support them foster the development of social and organizational competencies and problem solving. Her methodology is most effective with children and adults who have a solid command of expressive and receptive language. Michelle and her team continually update the Social Thinking® Methodology based on the latest research and clinical insights. Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Michelle Garcia Winner. Here is what to expect on this week’s show: Michelle stresses the importance of understanding the individual you are trying to help. Tailoring social strategies based on the person's specific challenges and strengths can significantly enhance their social learning experience. Michelle explains managing social anxiety requires self-regulation, flexibility, and self-compassion. Encouraging individuals to be kind to themselves and allowing them to progress at their own pace can foster a more comfortable social interaction environment. Michelle highlights the significance of working through the social learning process slowly and deliberately.

  • Ep 184: Why Your Child May Struggle with Following Directions (hint: PDA?)
    2024/10/16
    In the world of childhood ADHD, you may have heard of Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), and you might even have some opinions about it, too. It often travels with untreated ADHD. But as the medical community begins to understand the overlap between ADHD and Autism, we want to invite you to learn more about a presentation of Autism called PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance). To be honest, there’s some controversy about this diagnosis, because it exists in the UK and Australia, but not officially in the US. So, let’s focus instead on the reality of what’s going on when a child resists and avoids the demands of life! In our community, we’ve learned that if you can understand what’s underlying troublesome behaviors, you can support them better. And this conversation with Nicola is guaranteed to help you do just that! Nicola Reekie is a parent to a young, autistic person who has a PDA profile. PDA is an abbreviation for Pathological Demand Avoidance or, as some prefer, Pervasive Drive for Autonomy. Her mission is to support families and professionals in understanding PDA, and she founded The PDA Space to provide resources that will deepen their understanding to create a safer environment for young people. A solution-focused therapist, Nicola collaborates with many amazing families, education and healthcare professionals to information and an excellent support network that supports their emotional well-being and helps to create calm in often challenging situations. Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Nicola Reekie. Here is what to expect on this week’s show: The episode highlights the significance of approaching individuals with PDA with compassion and understanding, focusing on their unique needs rather than demanding conformity. Nicola emphasizes the importance of establishing connections and collaborating with individuals with PDA. Nicola explains framing behaviors as neurologically driven rather than defiant can shift the perspective and reduce stigma.

  • Ep 182: Using Novelty to Hack Your Child's ADHD
    2024/10/02
    Whether you’re talking about ADHD, Autism, or 2e, developing neurodivergent brains in kids require adults to understand what it takes to get activated. The ADHD brain, for example, is understimulated. It doesn’t respond to rewards the same way as neurotypical brains. And it has a complicated relationship with motivation. So how can you help kids with ADHD (and other kinds of neurodiversity) to get essential stuff done? One key motivational tool is novelty. Join us to understand better why ADHD brains thrive on novelty, how novelty and motivation are tied together, and how you as a parent or a professional can integrate novelty when supporting your kids (of any age!). And remember: this fundamental hack can serve you well with all members of your family and community. Emily Kircher-Morris, M.A., M.Ed., LPC, is a former educator, author, and speaker. Inspired by her own experiences as a neurodivergent person, she is dedicated to destigmatizing neurodiversity and supporting neurodivergent people of all ages. She hosts The Neurodiversity Podcast, which explores the psychological, educational, and social needs of neurodivergent people, and is the author of several books, including "Teaching Twice-Exceptional Learners in Today's Classroom"(Free Spirit Publishing, 2021), "Raising Twice-Exceptional Children" (Taylor & Francis, 2022), "A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children" (Gifted Unlimited, LLC, 2023), and "Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools" (Free Spirit Publishing, in press). She speaks at statewide, national, and international conferences and is in private practice in Missouri. Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Emily Kircher-Morris. Here is what to expect on this week’s show: Emily highlights the importance of incorporating novelty in educational settings to engage neurodivergent individuals effectively. Tailored strategies and support, like universal design for learning, are crucial in catering to the specific needs of neurodivergent students and those facing situational neurodiversity challenges. Emily stresses the importance of validating parents' efforts in supporting their neurodivergent kids, acknowledging the learning journey both for the child and the parent in understanding themselves and their unique needs.
