Introducing Corinna Gilligan with Tina Bryson this week!

Tina Bryson is rescheduled to this coming week's time-slot due to some professional ventures with her new center (which I am sure she will tell us about). The fun part of having to reschedule is having a bit more time to think about the podcast and how to make it even better!

We will be having one of my very favorite client-mums on the podcast with me in the conversation with Tina. Corinna Gilligan is a brilliant, savvy, and experienced mother. Her son is now 13 years old and enjoys recent adventures in bicycling, summer camps, and his fair share of computer gaming. Her son is verbal, especially for echolalic statements (rote or repeated phrases) and is receptively more aware than he is able to verbally communicate.  Corinna has a wealth of experiences in different interventions for her son, has raised 2 other now-grown boys, and has lived all over the world.

I just know you will love having her on the podcast with Tina Bryson, giving us both the parent and professional perspectives on Tina's work.

And a great video with Dan Siegel, who wrote No Drama Discipline with Tina:

Episode #19: Regulation is Required for Curiosity to Thrive

Here, Synergy Autism Center's owner, Barbara Avila shares the essential nature of regulation for curiosity and learning to thrive. A child who is curious is learning, growing, and thriving. They are active and engaged in exploring the world and trying to figure out how things and people around them work. They imitate. They follow. They experiment. They fail and recover. They take risks and experience accidents. They gaze to their caregivers to determine safety or confirm their curiosity. They engage with the world. They are intrigued by the unexpected and the unpredictable within their developmental schema.  Co-Regulation Leads to Regulation  In order for a child to be curious, their internal state must be ready for new learning. A newborn is not ready for a whole lot of stimulation without getting overwhelmed and dysregulated, for example.
