Collaboration In Care w/ OutGrow Therapeutics

Meet Martie Goldberg (MS. CCC-SLP, BCBA) and Megan Dore (COTA-L), founders of OutGrow Therapeutics - a group of US-based clinics born from a simple but powerful realization: Pediatric therapy works best when it honours the whole child and supports the entire family.Martie & Megan bring over 20 years of combined experience to their practice, but the heart of their practice comes from their own life-changing shifts.OutGrow grew out of a period of deep reflection. In 2021, while Martie was taking time to focus on her health during a battle with breast cancer, she and Megan used that time to dive into new research on brain development and sensory integration, listening to the lived experiences of the neurodiverse community, and realizing that the medical model of therapy often missed the mark. This information, paired with Megan’s own "lightbulb moments" as a mom navigating the daily realities of her neurodiverse children’s self-regulation, inspired them to build something different - a practice where clinical expertise meets the messy, beautiful reality of real-life parenting.Timestamps:(01:31) - Welcome(02:21) - Meet Martie & Megan(13:09) - The Importance of Collaboration in Therapy Practices(25:58) - Sensory Matching in Therapy(36:17) - Messy Fun Activities In Therapy(53:21) - Early Intervention Scenarios(01:01:21) - Transitions For Neurodiverse Children(01:07:45) - Child Behavior and Collaboration in TherapyMore On The Founders of OutGrow Therapeutics::Martie Goldberg: As a Speech-Language Pathologist and BCBA, Martie spent over a decade working in schools and clinics from New York to Texas. But it was her personal health journey that truly reshaped her mission. Today, she’s passionate about merging language development and behavior principles with emotional regulation to help parents move away from "managing behaviors" and toward understanding their child’s unique way of learning. She’s also a published children’s author, always looking for creative ways to empower families.Megan Dore: Megan’s background in Developmental Psychology and Occupational Therapy gave her the tools, but motherhood gave her the "why." After years of working as a clinician, raising her own children taught her what the textbooks couldn't: how sensory and emotional regulation impact a family’s day-to-day life. Megan believes that play is the ultimate foundation for growth, and she uses her dual perspective as a clinician and a parent to help families build genuine rapport and connection.Together, Martie and Megan bridge the gap between complex neurological research and the practical needs of families. Whether they are addressing ADHD, autism, or developmental delays, the core of their work is about more than just hitting milestones. They focus on helping children build the deep self-awareness they need to become their own bestFollow OutGrow Therapeutics:Instagram: @outgrowtherapeuticsFacebook Page: OutGrow TherapeuticsLinkedIn: OutGrow TherapeuticsFind more information about Martie and Megan here:https://www.outgrowtherapeutics.com/Mentioned In This Episode:Sensory course for therapists:https://www.outgrowtherapeutics.com/sensorycoursefortherapists****Visit The Sensory Supply for the best in sensory products to soothe, stimulate, and inspire.Learn about our clinic Elemenoe where we work to reach milestones together through speech, language, behaviour & learning.Visit neurodiversallyspeaking.com for all podcast & show info:Follow us:InstagramFacebookXYouTubeTikTokContact:Have a question or a topic that you'd love to hear on the show?
