147 [Encore] Picky Eating and Down Syndrome - the fundamentals with Dr. Kay Toomey
Non Linear Learning
07/10/24 • 46 min
Today’s episode is one of a kind - an expert leads us into incredible detail into the physical and physiological principles behind picky eating and other feeding disorders, specially in children and adults with Down syndrome.
If that sounds complex, I assure you that while it is complex, it is not complicated. Dr. Kay Toomey, in this episode talks to us about postural stability and breathing and how they relate to Feeding Delays.
I love it when an expert takes us back to the basics. We are often so busy looking for hacks to a particular issue that we lose track of the fundamentals. This episode is just that - a journey back to the very basics, so we can pick up what we missed and address the root cause of picky eating.

“LIfe outcomes are poorer for kids who are not good readers” - says today’s featured guest Dr. Marnie Ginsberg. The truth of this statement is profound for neurotypical kids.

87 The Value of Alternative Communication with Danny Whitty
Non Linear Learning
03/11/22 • 42 min
NOTE: This Episode is Available on YOUTUBE at https://youtu.be/aGRTnqxvsqg Danny Whitty is a nonspeaking Autistic and Apraxic man, who was unable to communicate his thoughts for 30 years of his life.
He now uses S2C (Spelling to Communicate) to share his deep insight, advocacy, writing and poetry with the world. In this episode, Danny shares about the people that have made a difference in his life, about how access to communication has completely transformed the way he shares, and the immense importance of communication and respect in the world of Non-Speaking Autistic people.
If you have an Autistic child who is either non-speaking or minimally speaking or “unreliably” speaking (which means that there is a body-mind disconnect, that older autistics often talk about where what one says isn’t really what one wants to say) - I do hope you consider RPM or S2C to take your child’s communication journey onward.
In this episode, Danny speaks about his experience with ABA, and how that might have led to even simple communication being unreliable (saying YES when means NO, for example).
You can find Danny at https://dannywithwords.com/ and https://dannywithwords.com/the-ocean-us-podcast/ .
