Small Steps, Big Wins is a podcast created for parents who want practical help, real encouragement, and tools that actually work in everyday life. Each episode breaks down proven strategies—like task analysis, visual supports, and positive behavior approaches—into simple, doable steps you can use at home right away. No jargon. No judgment. Just clarity.
Ever wonder how to help your child become more independent without constant prompting? We’ll show you how visual schedules, “first/then” thinking, and gentle scaffolding can lower anxiety and build confidence—for both of you. We talk openly about fading support, teaching self-management, and creating a home environment where “yes” happens more often than “no.”
This podcast is rooted in a family-centered, neurodiversity-affirming approach. That means you’re not just following a plan—you’re an empowered partner in your child’s growth. We also explore inclusive social learning, sibling and peer modeling, and ways to generalize skills from therapy or school into real life.
And because every child is unique, each episode includes a gentle reminder: these are evidence-based strategies, but collaboration matters. Working alongside professionals like BCBAs, speech therapists, and occupational therapists helps ensure your child’s plan truly fits them.
So what’s your next step?
Pick one strategy.
Try it in a small way.
Celebrate progress—even if it feels tiny.
For templates, visual tools, task analysis examples, and step-by-step guides, visit askstellanow.org and let Stella help you turn confusion into confidence.
Small steps. Big wins. You don’t have to do this alone.
