Are you exhausted from watching your child struggle in the classroom while feeling like you're missing something important?
Do you suspect your child needs support but don't know where to start or feel overwhelmed by the options?
What if the key to helping your wiggly, unfocused child isn't another diagnosis, but addressing foundational reflexes that never properly integrated?
In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany Parsons, a practicing occupational therapist, pastor's wife, and twin mom who is revolutionizing how families access therapeutic support in non-traditional settings. Tiffany shares her journey from outpatient pediatric OT to teaching at a micro school, revealing how primitive reflexes, core stability, and simple sensory strategies can transform a child's ability to learn and thrive. This conversation is packed with practical hope for exhausted moms who feel stuck between knowing their child needs help and not knowing where to find it - especially for families navigating ADHD, autism, and other neurodiversity challenges.
