Скачать или смотреть Co-Regulation Over Compliance: Building Connection That Changes Everything | Ep. 43

In this episode of Finding Hope on the Spectrum, Brooke sits down with Gail Ludwig, a veteran speech-language pathologist and RDI-certified consultant with over 40 years of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families. Together, they take a deep dive into co-regulation—what it is, why it matters, and how it supports both emotional and physical regulation through connection.
Gail shares real-life examples from her decades of work, explaining how dynamic, movement-based, and non-static activities can foster engagement and reduce stress. The conversation centers on shifting away from compliance-based approaches and toward relationship-driven support, where invitation, curiosity, and shared experience lead the way.
Listeners will walk away with practical tips, simple activity ideas, and small shifts parents and professionals can try right away to strengthen connection, reduce challenges, and support regulation in everyday moments. This episode is a meaningful resource for parents, caregivers, and professionals seeking more authentic, compassionate ways to support autistic individuals.
