The Autism Little Learners Podcast
You want to help your autistic students or child thrive — but it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out where to start. Whether you’re wondering how to build connection, teach communication, navigate sensory needs, or support your paras… you’re in the right place.
Welcome to The Autism Little Learners Podcast, where compassion meets practical strategy. Host Tara Phillips, a speech-language pathologist with over two decades of experience, brings you neurodiversity-affirming insights, step-by-step tips, and real-world examples that help you feel confident, prepared, and inspired to support young autistic children.
This show is relaxed, upbeat, and packed with actionable ideas you can use right away — whether you’re a special educator, SLP, general education teacher, paraprofessional, parent, grandparent, or anyone who loves a young autistic child.
Each episode explores topics like:
Teaching communication and AAC in natural, joyful ways
Using visual supports and routines to create predictability
Fostering co-regulation and independence
Understanding sensory needs and reducing stress
Supporting paraprofessionals with clarity and compassion
Building strong, trusting relationships with autistic kids
Tara’s approach is rooted in connection over compliance — helping you see each child’s strengths, honor their communication style, and create an inclusive environment where everyone can succeed.
