In this episode of Permission to Play, hosts Alicia, Jordan, and Cherie invite you to rethink what real progress looks like for autistic learners. Too often, we measure success by checklists and short-term goals.  

We explore how shifting from session-based thinking to a long-term, connection-focused lens transforms outcomes for autistic learners. Discover why what you do today can profoundly shape communication, confidence, and independence years from now. 

If you’re a speech-language pathologist, special educator, parent, or autism professional who’s ready to rediscover the heart behind your work, this episode will remind you that every moment — big or small — truly matters.
