Cherie and Alicia are two highly trained Speech-Language Pathologists who developed their parent coaching program after years of watching too many professionals skip over the pre-language skills that are essential prior to a child talking. They knew they had to get this information into parents’ hands and this podcast is an extension of this work.
If you're ready to take charge of your toddler's communication, join in as Cherie and Alicia cut through the misinformation out there to help you shift your thinking about what it truly takes to get your child to communicate.
We are back for our FINAL episode . . . AND some exciting new news! You don't want to miss this podcast! But first, we delve into the transformative power of unlocking internally motivated communication. Re-discover how the IRC approach can shift perspectives, enabling parents and educators to see beyond traditional measures of progress.
As you know, if you are a listener of the podcast, we focus on joyful, meaningful interactions and we remind you of how even the smallest communication breakthroughs can lead to profound changes in understanding and connection with our autistic communicators.
We're also thrilled to announce our shift to a NEW podcast, "Permission to Play," which will include insights for teachers, paraprofessionals and SLPs. It's a podcast to inspire and guide school staff to take a new perspective and new approach one tiny interaction at a time.
We also welcome Jordan Gonzalez to our team! We know you will love getting to know her on our new podcast! Make sure to join us as we share stories that highlight the potential for endless progress and the joy of truly being heard!
Before heading over to our new podcast, Permission to Play, premiering September 30, 2025, make sure to re-listen to some of our best and most informative podcasts!

In case you weren't sure, we recommend a holistic approach!
We believe that helping your child experience joy within back and forth interactions is THE first step towards all of the communication you want for your child in the future. Implementing our IRC - one minute at a time approach WILL set your child up for all meaningful, internally motivated communication to come. We ALSO believe that it is is not the only approach that a child will need. As your child develops the ability to communicate purposefully, there may often be other approaches or types of therapies or protocols that are also beneficial to your child as a whole person. As we like to say, as a parent you know your child best!
