    Communicating with Providers - (Episode 4)

    In this episode of Bloom and Beyond, BCBAs and moms Ramsee and Bekah dive into one of the most overlooked, but most impactful, parts of a child’s therapy journey: communication with providers. If your child is in speech, OT, PT, ABA, or multiple therapies, this conversation is for you. Drawing from over 20 years of combined clinical experience and their lived experience as parents, Ramsee and Bekah share why progress doesn’t come from therapy hours alone, and how parents play a critical role in outcomes. You’ll learn: Why relying on “How did it go?” isn’t enoughThe four essential questions every parent should be asking their child’s providersHow to understand goals, data, and treatment plans (even when the language feels overwhelming)What to practice at home and why it matters more than you thinkHow honest, two-way communication builds trust and accelerates progressThis episode isn’t about blaming providers or expecting parents to be therapists. It’s about empowering caregivers with the clarity, confidence, and language they need to collaborate effectively so children can thrive across settings, not just in sessions. If you’ve ever wondered “Am I doing enough?” or “How do I know therapy is really helping?” this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

    Parent Autism Journey- Shaina (Episode 2)

    In Episode 2 of our Parent Autism Journey Series, we sit down with Shaina Finch, mom to a 6-year-old boy diagnosed with autism at age 4. Shaina opens up about the deep grief she experienced throughout the diagnostic process — the uncertainty, the waiting, and the emotional weight so many parents silently carry. She shares the challenges she faced in finding a provider, the frustration of navigating long waitlists, and the moment she finally received the diagnosis after months of searching for answers. Two years later, Shaina reflects on how far she has come, how she’s grown as a parent, and the confidence and clarity she feels now. This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and incredibly validating for parents who have felt the heaviness of this journey. Shaina’s story reminds us that grief and hope can coexist — and that healing often comes with time, support, and understanding.
