In this episode of the Nourishing Autism Podcast, Brittyn is joined by Aleece Fosnight, a certified PA specializing in urology to discuss the challenges faced by families in affording diapers and other potty training products. This particular challenge has been identified as "The Diaper Gap". 
Aleece shares how some families are even having to choose between affording diapers and affording groceries, or maybe forgoing certain helpful therapies for their child. This is why Aleece works with Aeroflow Urology, an incredible organization that helps families receive bladder control products for FREE through their insurance benefits.
Join Brittyn and Aleece as they talk about topics such as varying timelines for potty training, especially for autistic kids, and the importance of normalizing conversations about the bathroom and bodily functions with your child.

Brittyn knows how frustrating it can be when professional development rarely applies to early childhood and overlooks relevant topics for autistic students. That’s why she's joining over 25 special educators, parents, psychologists, SLPs, and OTs who advocate for neurodiversity-affirming strategies at the Preschool Autism Summit July 15-17.
During the summit, you’ll learn how to equip your support staff and paraprofessionals with the latest strategies, create compassionate and strength-based classroom environments, and replace outdated methods with practical, current strategies. You’ll gain actionable tools and insights to enhance your teaching practices, promote meaningful engagement, and empower every child to thrive.
