These are products we used with our children that made life fun with a bit of fitness. Seek advice from a professional before using anything we have tried: Please note again: we do make a small commission just by clicking on the amazon links. We use 100% of the funds to pay for the cost of the podcast. Podcasting is fun and we have a great time chatting. The costs are around $1000/yr. Thanks for listening :) Agility ladder - great for gross motor and obstacle courses. May uses Weighted ball - Paige loved the 2lb ball to toss into buckets, hold while walking and pass back and forth with me. Exercise ball - great for sitting at a table, sensory bouncing Yoga mat - this one is thicker for more cushion on hard flooring Punching bag - so fun to make a game out of this equipment Wobble board for balance practice: Balloons! Because they are fun! Lots of games you can play Weighted hoops - these are just fun! Plastic stepping stones - great for playing “the floor is lava” or an obstacle course (can you tell by now I am a fan of making an obstacle course?) Wobble disk - one of the best toys to make fitness fun and getting sensory input Activity dice: makes time go by fast when at dr appts.

S6: Episode 4: Mindful Movement & Breathwork - Cami & Michele, founders, InnerPeace
On this episode we dive into the world of mindful movements and pranayama breathwork, specifically tailored to benefit moms of neurodiverse kids. Thank you for joining us Cami and Michele! Michele Rooney, MS, PT, is a physical therapist with over 24 years in professional practice. She completed a BA in Psychology and Sociology at New York University, and an MS in Physical Therapy at Columbia University. While working in the school setting during her early career, she also worked as a personal trainer. Although conventionally trained as a PT, Michele quickly realized that a conventional approach did not fulfill her personal philosophy of holistically optimizing health and function through the integration of mind, body and spirit. This inspired her to pursue certifications in Hatha Yoga, Yoga for the Special Child, Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki and Infant Massage. More recently, she has returned to her fascination with psychospiritual approaches to wellness by pursuing certifications as a Self-Sabotage Coach and in Hypnotherapy. In addition to her clinical specialty in pediatrics (autism/neurodevelopmental disorders and Early Intervention), she has extensive expertise in functional medicine in women’s health (hormonal balancing, peri menopause), and she is a GGS-1 Women’s Coaching Specialist. She considers herself to be a lifelong learner, and she excels at simplifying challenging and complicated topics. Cami Smith has been a board certified music therapist working with children with neurodiversity for over 20 years and in 2018-2019 was introduced to Pranayama Yoga Breathwork training. She has been practicing breathwork since then for her own healing journey and worked with friends and family using this modality. She has seen immense changes in her own healing of her conscious and subconscious mind as well as experienced improved mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness. So many others have experienced altered lives due to the learning that comes from laying down and breathing for an hour. - my business page; getting my website redesigned so it is not up yet.

S5: Episode 26: Erin Tullius, Heart Wing Healing/The AutoCOMMUNITY Podcast
When her son was diagnosed with PANS in 2006, Erin left the doctor's office completely defeated and with little to no guidance. She also knew that the few treatments offered showed little promise. Armed with a computer and a curious mind, she began seeking out other mothers like herself and founded the Saving Our Pandas group on Facebook. The early days consisted of a virtual round table of mothers who began to share their successes with myriad treatments, doctors and protocols and allowed many of those families to see the recovery of their precious children. Of the countless interventions Erin attempted, homeopathy was one of the very first treatments that helped her son. She enrolled in a basic course to learn more and she has been learning ever since. Erin completed her 200-hour course with the School of Intuitive Homeopathy in early 2021 with concurrent enrollment in additional coursework totaling another 200 hours. She went on to work with her original mentor, Angelica Lemke, N.D. in the Homeopathy Hive collective and founded Heart Wing Healing independently in mid-2021. A self-proclaimed lifelong learner, Erin's education continues with U.K. homeopath and acupuncturist, Hilery Dorrian, among others. Erin's personal as well as professional experience has centered around the diagnoses of PANS/PANDAS, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Neuro-Immune and Autoimmune Disorders. She sees a variety of pediatric cases (along with their parents) from her online-based practice. She currently resides outside of Austin, TX with her amazing teenage son and their giant dog, Thor.

S5: Episode 22: Stephen Flinn, Special Needs Music
Music is such an important part of life. Music can help to improve communication, social skills, and motor skills. It can also help to reduce stress and anxiety. And it can even help to improve cognitive function. Stephen Flinn is a true professional who has been teaching for over three decades and has given over 25,00 drum and piano lessons, and facilitated over 2,000 special needs percussion ensemble classes. Piano and percussion lessons with an emphasis on positive communication, social skills, and academic concepts. Piano: Teaching piano using an alternative notation system that makes it much easier for the student to read than standard notation. The lessons are designed for cognitive development, ocular motor strengthening, fine motor strengthening, and social skills. The lessons are big fun too! Percussion: These lessons are successful in addressing cognitive, emotional, and physical goals. Through inventive multi-sensory exercises the lessons teach and enhance skills such as maintaining focus, using memory, sequencing, reading, laterality, recognition and use of numbers, spatial awareness, fine and gross motor coordination, following instructions, and positive communication. Through a perceptual motor match: VISUAL, TACTILE, and AUDITORY combined with speech (good for not yet verbal students too), the student sees the lessons, feels it, and hears it as they say the answers out loud. It is this redundancy of information that provides positive results. Recording Artist for the following labels: Creative Sources Recordings, Nine Winds Records, Hypermodern, Lizard Records, Soleilmoon Recordings, Pax Recordings, Experimental Music Research, Reify Recordings, pfMENTUM, Edgetone Records, Inexhaustible Recordings. Composer, performer, and improviser who performs throughout Europe, Japan, and the United States. ________________________________________ We would love a review on Apple Podcast, Spotify or Audible If you have any question, would like to be a guest: Contact us - email: [email protected] https://www.autismmastermind.co/ IG, FB, YouTube @autismmastermind
