Episode 16- Behind the Behavior: A Lead BCBA Shares His Story of Parenting Through Behavior Analysis.

Dry Needling, Bike Accidents, and a Physical Therapist in Physical Therapy!

Introducing Alex Young, the lead physical therapist at Compleat Rehab's Mount Holly clinic, a sister company of Compleat Kidz! 

If you watched our past podcast with Rebecca, you've got the gist of what happens down at the Compleat Rehab centers, but Alex is going to take that one step further by jumping into topics like Dry Needling, TMJ, pain management and more! He's even got a few stories himself - because even Physical Therapists need therapy every now and then!

Is this the first time you're hearing of dry needling? Dry needling is a technique used by physical therapists to treat muscular pain and tightness. It involves inserting thin needles into trigger points in muscles, which can help relieve tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain! It's often used to treat conditions such as muscle knots, chronic pain, and sports injuries.

Did you know Compleat Kidz isn't an only child? Our sister company Compleat Rehab & Sports Therapy is located all around NC, and we were so lucky to have found time to sit down with Dr. Rebecca Stubbs, not only the clinic lead at our Gastonia Location, but also a key manager for our Steele Creek and Riverwood locations as well!

An App State undergrad (we know how dedicated you crazy Mountaineers are!) with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Elon University, Rebecca knows her stuff. 

We'll talk pelvic floor therapy, when it's time to look into getting physical therapy, what the process looks like once you take that first step to look into physical therapy, and how therapy can help your daily life.

Whether it's looking to heal a past injury, prevent future injuries, or aid pain relief, it's also smart to look to the knowledge of professionals. If you're curious about getting started, go to compleatrehab.com!

This week we're joined by Casey Raymer (Gale), a mother of three boys, the VP of Philanthropy at Kaleideum Science Museum, and an all around insightful resource when it comes to the most common genetic condition that you might not have ever hear of, 22q Deletion Syndrome!

We had the pleasure of meeting Casey when our Winston-Salem clinic moved into Kaleideum's previous museum location - and we knew after hearing her story that we HAD to have her on the podcast. 

If you're a parent of a child who needs pediatric therapies, has 22q Deletion Syndrome, Autism, or both, you'll want to have a listen!

Thank you so much Casey for your insight, your words of encouragement and understanding, and for being an amazing advocate for your children.

Looking forward to continuing this relationship!

Today we sit down with Nikita and Victor, two of our International BCBAs who made the jump across the ocean and settled down right here in the beautiful state of North Carolina. 

Nikita and Victor take us through their unique experiences of obtaining their visas, getting settled into their new spaces, and starting work with Compleat Kidz. 

With there only being so many BCBA®s in the world, we're so lucky to have these two here with us! If you're interested in relocating to the United States, or North Carolina from another US state, we would love to chat with you!

Welcome to part 2 of Kourtney Benson's story!

"This one's for the parents - we sat down with Kourtney Benson, a mother, advocate, author, and blogger and got deep into what being a parent of an Autistic child can look like from her own experiences."

In the second part of our discussion with Kourtney we talk early intervention, the tips Kourtney has for resources you just might not know about, and we ask our favorite question "if you had any superpower, which would you pick?"

Thank you to Kourtney for opening up to us and for being her son's biggest cheerleader, hardest working therapist, and advocate.

This one's for the parents - we sat down with Kourtney Benson, a mother, advocate, author, and blogger and got deep into what being a parent of an Autistic child can look like from her own experiences.

In this first part of a truly heartfelt episode, we cover conversations such as what Kourtney would suggest to parent's who have recently received an autism diagnosis for their child, what she's found to be helpful in her community, and how she's adjusted her parenting style not to "fix" anything (because there is nothing to fix!) but instead support the way in which her son Jaxon thinks and sees the world. 

Thank you to Kourtney for opening up to us and for being her son's biggest cheerleader, hardest working therapist, and advocate. You can follow along with their story on Instagram and Tik Tok!

Today we're grateful to have Yvonne Knap, CEO of StarKid Universe here with us all the way from Slovenia!

Spending a month in North Carolina with Compleat KiDZ, Yvonne was able to bring her mindfulness practices to our clinics and teach breathwork through simple (though effective!) exercises and stories. 

How does breath work, mindfulness, and meditation help the community? Can it work for both neurotypical and neurodiverse populations? What about Bob?

These are all questions we answer right here on our newest Compleat KiDZ podcast!

Have you ever wondered what goes on during a psychological evaluation? 

Join us as we sit down with our expert guest, Dr. Daniel Wells,  a licensed psychologist here at Compleat Kidz! With a wealth of experience in working with young individuals on the autism spectrum, he offers insights into the entire evaluation journey. 

This episode uncovers the questions that many parents and caregivers have, but might not know how to ask, ranging from what happens before, during, and after an evaluation, why it's difficult to diagnose very young children, and why early intervention is preferable. 

And of course, we get to hear which superpower Dr. Wells would want if given the chance!
