Hi everyone! Welcome to the Parent Partner! This month I wanted to talk about a slip-up I made in my personal profession and how that may affect some situations, especially relating to de-escalation techniques and intentional language to use with you child in these moments.
Hi everyone and Happy New Year! For the start of 2026, I wanted to share a list of “ins” and “outs” of 2026 for supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The "Ins and Outs" trend is usually done around the beginning of the year, and allows us to establish what exactly we want to see in this new year!
Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Parent Partner. For this month, I thought it would be important to talk about regression and how you can navigate this as a parent. This is good timing for this year as 2025 comes to a close, there are more breaks from school and autism services, and everyone is starting to wind down. A few of my patient’s parents that I work with told me and the collaborating clinicians about some changes they have noticed in their child’s behaviors recently.
Hi everyone! Welcome back to TheParentPartner! I took a break from the site due to moving, but I am so excited to be back! This blog is centered around potty-training and what to expect during the process. To start this blog, I think it is important to say: Potty-training is not an easy feat, and as neurotypical adults, it's not something that we remember, as most of us completed it during the ages of 1.5 and 3 years old. Now that WE are the adults, and may need to potty-train a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the criteria is a bit different.
With assistant professor in higher education and Autism Spectrum researcher Dr. Brett Nachman, we discuss the many options for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder who want to go to college. In this podcast episode, we explore the different ways that parents can provide their child a ton of resources, while finding ways to let their child be more independent during this stage.
Hi everyone! Welcome back to TheParentPartner! It's been a little while since I have had the opportunity to upload, but I am so glad to be back! This "April Fools" theme was meant for April, but I decided to stick with it as it relates to my ARFID podcast with Rachel Rivera.
Hi everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the previous edition of The Parent Partner, about love and experiencing romantic love, familial love, and close-knit friendship, “What’s Love Got to Do With It!” That was a really fun episode to record, but now I wanted to take this month to talk about something more serious: anger, tantrumming, meltdowns, and anxiety that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder may exhibit when they are in new, stressful situations or when they do not get what they want.
What is love?? It's friendship, relationship, parenthood, and so much more! Join me in my first podcast episode done alone, where I talk about my takes on the Netflix original, Atypical (2017), discuss consent and autonomy, and talk about all the different ways to love, and how you can introduce your kiddos to the idea of romance in a healthy way!
Happy New Year, everyone! Before diving into this month's topic, I want to thank everyone who's supported me this far, whether that includes reading each blog, sharing my posts, or giving me suggestions for future topics. It means so much to me and I truly hope that you find solace and community through my blogs as well. This year feels like the start of a new season and I wanted to discuss the importance of self-care and its relevance in regards to developing independence in children with Autism.
Tune into the riveting conversation about the many implications and impacts of Avoidant or Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder. This episode, I'm with Rachel Rivera, 5th year PhD Candidate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Rochester, to engage about this informative discussion about possible interventions and solutions for this upcoming holiday season.
The innumerable benefits of role play and how it can enhance your child's social communication skillset and Theory of Mind!
Hi Parents! Welcome back to the Parent Partner. This month is all about flexibility! What it means for your kiddo, how it helps in their future, and why it ultimately makes them stronger than ever!
