    Diagnosis Human: A Conversation About Advocacy, Identity and Trust

    In this episode, Libby is joined by author and advocate Elly Chapple, founder of Flip the Narrative and writer of Diagnosis Human. Elly shares the deeply personal story behind her book and the lessons she learned from her deafblind daughter, Ella — lessons about identity, presence, and seeing the world differently. Together, they explore the realities many families face when navigating education systems and professional support for children with complex needs. The conversation touches on advocacy, the impact of budget cuts on services, and the challenges parents experience when trying to ensure their child is understood. Libby and Elly also discuss the importance of language, relational safety, and moving from reactive to responsive approaches in both families and professional settings. Above all, this episode highlights the importance of trust, allyship, and collaboration between parents and professionals to support children in ways that truly respect who they are. Read more about Elly at www.ellychaple.com and buy her brilliant book here https://amzn.eu/d/08VWyVTs available in paperback and kindle

    Let's Talk questions about Selective Mutism for SM awareness month

    "Did you know that some children talk freely at home but can’t get a single word out at school?  It’s not stubbornness, and it’s not shyness — it’s something called selective mutism, an anxiety condition that literally freezes a child’s ability to speak. In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Talk, we dive into the most common questions parents and teachers ask. What causes selective mutism? How can you tell the difference between being quiet and having SM? And most importantly — what actually helps, and what makes it worse? If you’ve ever wondered how to support a child with selective mutism — or you just want to understand it better — this episode is for you.Libby's book is on Amazon https://amzn.eu/d/dRlx2Fp
