In this episode of Rooted in Connection , Erin Forward sits down with Casey Quinn-Daly to talk about what it really feels like to support a child with developmental delays and autism while navigating speech therapy, provider recommendations, and complex healthcare systems. At the center of this conversation is one powerful truth: you are your child’s expert. Together, we explore: How to build the right autism and speech therapy support team What collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming care actually looks like How to advocate without burning out The questions to ask therapists Why flexibility and real connection matter more than rigid plans Casey shares her personal journey of finding the right providers for her son and the emotional weight of holding both clinical knowledge and maternal instinct. We talk honestly about systemic challenges, provider transparency, and the courage it takes to trust your gut when something doesn’t feel right. If you’re a caregiver navigating services, or a therapist who wants to better understand the parent experience, this episode will remind you that connection changes every session, and empowered caregivers change outcomes.","meta_description":"Navigating autism services can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re both the parent and the professional.
