Hey, it's Debbie. This month on playback Fridays, we're diving into the archives to revisit some of my favorite conversations about occupational therapy and the many ways OTs can support neurodivergent kids. Whether you're new to these conversations or you're listening again with fresh ears, I hope you'll find insights you can put to use right away. Welcome to the Tilt Parenting Podcast, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Reber, and today's guest is a licensed clinical psychologist and board certified dance movement therapist, Dr. Lori Baldino. Dr. Baldino provides therapeutic support to assist parents in understanding, handling and accepting the challenges of parenting.
and the complexities of a developing child. She specializes in supporting children identified with special needs, including those with learning disabilities, early life traumas, academic, behavior, or emotional challenges, children on the autism spectrum, and those with chronic acute illnesses. In our conversation, we talk about the mind-body connection and how teaching differently wired kids to tap into this relationship and learn how to understand their body's unique language can be a valuable tool as they learn to regulate their emotions, better understand social communication, and more. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Hi, Dr. Bodina. Welcome to the podcast. Hi, thanks for having me. Yeah, I'm really excited to have this conversation and talk about movement and our differently wired kids.
It's a kind of a new conversation to be bringing to the podcast. And I think it's going to be really valuable for our listeners. And before we get into the work that you do specifically and how this is going to really help the parents in our community, I'd love to hear more about your story. I always like to hear from my guests about their personal why and what drew them to the work that they do. So could you tell us a little bit about what you do and who you are?
Yes, I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and a board certified dance movement therapist. And I'm also a mom. I have an integrative approach to health in that I support all children from ages zero to 18, whether it's sensory differences, neuro differences, children on the spectrum. I also work with children with anxiety and also just those typical parenting challenges, but not just by talking and hearing concepts, but actually supporting the idea of embodying practices and connection. To do this, it just always seemed to make sense to me that This idea that illness and challenges and experiences happen in the body. So to me, it's like, what better way than to look at the body as a means of helping people to connect and to be better?
And can you tell us about your personal why
for doing this work? So my personal why, when I think about, I was that child that tap danced my book reports and played basketball to learn to count and just found creative ways to find meaning in learning. And so to me, using the body always just makes sense to me. And it gave me this passion for supporting other children to feel connected in their learning, to be able to express and have that emotional vocabulary, to connect with parents and other peers. And just this whole mind, body, and spirit approach. I was always kind of that creative kid that was thinking outside the box and finding that I truly believe to this day, even having my own kids, that children are so capable and competent. And it's about finding that wonderment and curiosity to explore and experience that really brings about those connections.
