Transcript
Brittany:

Have you ever felt yourself wondering, how can I help my child regulate their big emotions? How am I supposed to work on speech therapy when the child's running around the room? And why do we keep hitting roadblocks in therapy?

Shawna:

We know how overwhelming it can feel. Like you'll never make a breakthrough in communication, behavior or emotion regulation.

Brittany:

Hey everyone, I'm Brittany Clark. I'm a speech language pathologist.

Shawna:

And I'm Shawna Fleming, a behaviour analyst.

Brittany:

And we're your hosts of Neurodiversally Speaking. Together, we're the founders founders of Elemento, a private therapy clinic where we support neurodivergent individuals and their families.

We feel like we really bring together the best of speech, language pathology and behavior analysis into all that we do.

Shawna:

This podcast is our space to explore the real life challenges and the powerful possibilities of supporting neurodivergent people with care, curiosity and evidence based strategies. We're here for those nuanced conversations that go beyond buzzwords and into what really works.

Brittany:

That's why, in collaboration with the Sensory Supply, we started neurodiversely Speaking.

This is the podcast where we bridge the gap between research and practice, exploring autism and neurodiversity through the lens of speech and behavior.

Whether you're a parent or professional, we want you to go away with tips and strategies that you can use in your next therapy session or in your homes that we use too.

Shawna:

We dive into topics like how to support emotion regulation, collaboration between speech pathologists and behavior analysts, practical strategies for communication breakthroughs, and parenting a neurodiverse child.

Brittany:

About your hosts

Brittany Clark

Profile picture for Brittany Clark
Speech-Language Pathologist, co-founder of Elemenoe, and proud mom of two wildly imaginative kiddos who keep life very interesting at all times.

Brittany has been an SLP for over a decade, and if there’s one thing she’s learned, it’s this: communication isn’t just about words—it’s about connection. She’s passionate about helping neurodivergent kids find their voice, in whatever form that takes, and supporting families as they learn to truly tune in to what their child is trying to say.

She loves diving into the messy, magical process of language development—especially when it comes to play-based therapy, motor speech, early communication, and finding those “aha!” moments that make it all worth it. Brittany believes therapy should be collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in real life (yes, even when your kid is under the table pretending to be a cat).

At Elemenoe, and now on Neurodiversally Speaking, she’s here to break down the research, share her real-life wins and struggles, and help parents and professionals feel like they’re not in this alone.

Shawna Fleming

Profile picture for Shawna Fleming
Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), co-founder of Elemenoe, and mom of two curious, hilarious kids who constantly keep her learning.

Shawna has spent over 10 years supporting neurodivergent individuals across home, school, and community settings—and she’s still just as passionate today as she was when she started. She cares deeply about therapy that’s practical, playful, and packed with purpose. Shawna is especially into early intervention, building school readiness, and helping kids develop the kind of emotional regulation and flexibility that sets them up for long-term success.

But here’s the thing: behavior doesn’t exist in a bubble. Shawna believes real change happens when we zoom out and look at the whole child—communication, environment, relationships and all. That’s why interdisciplinary collaboration isn’t just something she talks about—it’s the foundation of everything she and Brittany do at Elemenoe.

As a clinician and a parent, Shawna knows how overwhelming this journey can be. Her mission is to turn that overwhelm into clarity—to keep things practical and positive—and to help parents and professionals feel confident, connected, and empowered.
