    Send us a text  NEW PODCAST EPISODE: “Getting Organized When Your Child May Have Special Needs” 🎙️ 🚨 This episode of Rock the World with Kay and Michelle speaks directly to parents who are noticing things — but don’t have answers yet. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck waiting, this conversation offers grounding, clarity, and permission to slow down. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Organization Without Panic: Why getting organized doesn’t mean assuming something is wrong — it means creating stability. ✅ You Don’t Need a Diagnosis: How organization can come before referrals, evaluations, or labels. ✅ The Mental Load Parents Carry: Appointments, observations, paperwork, fear — and how writing things down lightens the weight. ✅ Medical vs. Developmental Needs: Why separating the two can reduce confusion and improve advocacy. ✅ Noticing Is Not Failing: Early awareness doesn’t mean your child is behind — it means you’re paying attention. ✅ Organization as Care: How structure supports both your child and you as the caregiver. Real Conversations. Real Parenting. Join Michelle Turner, founder of Movement Lesson™ and parent, and Kayla Ireland, founder of Kindly Neurodivergent with Kay, as they share an honest, pressure-free conversation about organizing information without fear — and why clarity matters more than certainty. Why This Episode is Important: Organization isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about giving yourself a place to stand while you process what you’re noticing.

    Before the Delay: How the Infant Sensor Mat Detects Developmental Concerns Early

    Send us a text 🎙️ NEW PODCAST EPISODE! 🎙️ 🚨 “Before the Delay: How the Infant Sensor Mat Detects Developmental Concerns Early” 🚨 🔊 Rock the World with Kay and Michelle is back—this time unveiling a groundbreaking approach to early development that shifts us away from “wait and see” and toward early awareness, early insight, and early support . If you’re a parent, pediatric professional, therapist, or advocate who believes babies deserve proactive care—not delayed reactions—this episode is a must-hear. If you care about early intervention, informed parenting, and using movement as vital health data—this one’s for you. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:  ✅ Why waiting for missed milestones means losing critical windows of early learning ✅ How the Infant Motion Sensor Mat captures subtle movement patterns from birth ✅ What “pre-functional movement” is—and why it matters before milestones appear ✅ How breathing, weight shift, tone, reflexes, and pressure patterns reveal early concerns ✅ The difference between what a baby does and how a baby moves ✅ How early movement data can inform referrals to neurology, pulmonology, genetics, GI, and more ✅ Why this tool is not diagnostic , but powerfully informative and empowering ✅ How early awareness supports better outcomes—without fear or alarm 👩‍⚕️ Michelle Turner (Founder of Movement Lesson™) introduces the Infant Motion Sensor and Turner AI, sharing the clinical insight, innovation, and personal journey behind its creation 💬 Kayla Ireland (Kindly Neurodivergent with Kay) brings lived experience, advocacy, and clarity to why early movement evaluation matters—for babies and families alike 🔥 Why This Episode Matters:  Babies communicate through movement long before words or milestones.

And babies deserve to be understood from day one.” 🎧 LISTEN NOW — on all major podcast platforms 📺 Watch on YouTube — link in bio 🌐 Visit movementlesson.academy for more resources and support Kayla Ireland is a bold and unstoppable 27-year-old with cerebral palsy.

    Rotational Milestones

    Send us a text 🎙️ NEW PODCAST EPISODE! 🌀 “Rotational Milestones” Your baby’s ability to rotate—to roll, twist, shift, and turn—isn’t just physical… it’s neurological.

They begin with rotation. And missing this early input often leads to bigger challenges later on. 💬 “Rotation is the hidden key to developmental success.” 💬 “If a child can’t rotate, they can’t organize movement.” 🎧 Listen now on your favorite podcast platform 📺 Watch on YouTube – link in bio #RotationalMilestones #RockTheWorldPodcast #MovementMatters #MovementLesson #BabyDevelopment #RollingMilestone #ParentingTips #KindlyNeurodivergent #EarlyIntervention Kayla Ireland is a bold and unstoppable 27-year-old with cerebral palsy.
