  • All About Allergies

    All About Allergies
    2022/03/27
    In this penultimate episode of our Season 2 of The Well Child, we talk about a topic that many parents' lives - and ours - revolve around: allergies. For this, we have none other than our online BFF and fellow misinformation-fighter, Dr Rubin. Dr. Rubin is a Pediatric Allergist/Immunologist and is part of the PedsSquad, a group of pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists that met through being advocates on social media and that have banded together to help fight misinformation online, with us. Tune is as we talk about common conditions that your child may have that may require an allergist as well as seasonal allergies, eczema, food allergies, and asthma. We also touch on COVID19 and its impact on allergy syndromes in children. This episode is full of great tips and pearls for parents, and we hope you have as much fun listening as we had recording it!

  • Supportive Therapies for Autism

    Supportive Therapies for Autism
    2022/03/06
    This season we really wanted to focus on children with autism spectrum disorder. We find that, even as physicians, there are not enough resources and there is a lack of support for children with developmental delays. Today, on our 3rd episode on this topic, we have a guest with a very unique and rare qualification that specializes in children with developmental delays - Rose Griffin. Rose is an SLP (speech language pathologist) as well as a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), and divides her time between a public school and her own private practice, ABA SPEECH, which offers services geared towards helping autistic students find their voice. Listen in as we discuss what are some signs of autism, when to intervene, and the different therapies available. Tune in as we talk about how to understand what combination of these therapies is right for your child while recognizing potentially negative factors in therapy that can be avoided and touch on ways older autistic children can excel in the classroom. We hope this episode provides much needed insight for parents traversing this world.

  • Unpacking ABA therapy in Autism

    Unpacking ABA therapy in Autism
    2022/02/20
    Our fantastic guest for this episode is here to help all of us, including physicians and parents, understand how to approach therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder. In recent years, ABA therapy has received much criticism after much-needed scrutiny, as those who’ve gone through it speak up about its effects on their childhood. Join us today to learn the pitfalls surrounding ABA and understand the associated trauma that the neurodivergent community has felt from none other than Dr Robin Roscigno herself - who’s PhD focuses on equitable education for autistic children. She is the founder of AuTeach, an autistic educator herself, a mother of an autistic child, and a life-long advocate for parents and children. Listen in as we navigate how to be our child’s and patient’s best advocate by knowing what red flags to avoid in all forms of therapy and picking the therapies best suited to meet the needs of each child while not denying them the childhood experiences we all deserve.
