Life With The Spectrum
Snap, Tap, Zap!
Think about how many ways you are stressed out: Emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually. Now imagine if you could Snap, Tap, and Zap it all away. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Christine Bernat, Life Coach and creator of Snap, Tap, Zap for an eye opening opportunity to start managing that stress as young as one and two years old. Christine is offering extra special treats when you mention you saw it here.
Gigi's Playhouse!
We light it up blue and yellow this month for Down Syndrome Awareness. Many children with downs also have autism so we take a look at an organization that isn't only local but national and international as well. Jennifer Rackley, Operations Manager, at Gigi's Playhouse sits down to talk about the various programs in person and virtually that families can take advantage of and the best part is everything done at Gigi's is FREE to the families.
Spectrum Designs & Suds!
From printing promotional material to cleaning and folding laundry, Spectrum Designs and Suds does it all. We got all cleaned up to chat with CEO, Patrick Bardsley, about the neurodiverse leaders in top positions like marketing, social media, and administration to everyone working on the floor printing materials, picking up the laundry, and more. This episode folds up in the end with an opportunity for you to bring this great business to your community.
Ryan's Heart!
Ryan Lee, self advocate, is making a difference through his articles on awareness and acceptance. Ryan is a leader here in Atlanta helping to make work places more inclusive and understanding. In this episode we all get to take a sneak peek into this young advocates journey or like I like to say "Ryan's World!"
Grab a Racket, Love!
For most children with disabilities and challenges adaptive sports allow them to take part in sports they are interested in and keep them off their devices even if for a short time. We sit down with Jim Hamm, Executive Director, at Special POPS Tennis to discuss the benefits of taking it to the courts with free tennis lessons in more than 18 locations around the metro. From gaining a new skill set to making friends, and having fun, Georgia has one of the largest tennis communities in the world and Special Pops is eager to help.
Many have heard her speak, watched videos, and have read her books. We launch into 2023 with Temple Grandin. We find out how she feels about ABA therapy, talk about the different types of minds featured in her latest book and ask the fun questions too. With a full calendar of speaking engagements coming up this year, I am honored that she takes time to speak with us today!
For more great episodes!
