The Autism Mom’s Potty Talk Podcast

14
Parenting #190

I'm Michelle, an Autism Mom & Life Coach for Parents of Children with
Autism. I am expert in helping parents Potty Train and Improve the Communication Skills of their children, with a "straight forward" results-driven approach.
My mission is to help every child with Autism to reach their greatest potential by empowering the most important people in their lives, THEIR PARENTS! I provide Autism Parents with the mental, emotional and tactical tools and strategies to help their child with what I like to call the BIG 3, these are the 3 life skills I believe every child with Autism NEEDS to have a chance at life of independence, they are:



  1. Potty Training




  2. Communication




  3. Stopping Problem Behaviors (so they can sit, attend, and learn at school and home)



My group coaching program, the Champions for Our Children Masterclass was created to support parents to teach these vital life skills so their babies can thrive!  This Podcast is the VOICE for those parents who are struggling, who have lost hope.  I am here for you.  Make a commitment to stick with me. I promise to keep you and your baby moving forward.

xoxo Michelle

    Life Changing Program
    We started working with Michelle almost 2 years ago to get our then 4 year old potty trained once and for all. I affectionately refer to her as our "kick in the pants" lady, as we needed direction and motivation. It took hard work and time but we got there. I then joined her Next Level Autism membership for support and assistance with more advanced skills. These programs have made a huge impact on how we teach our son, approach challenges, set expectations, and on our mindset. All of the coaches are supportive and knowledgeable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, CFOC. My husband and I are deeply grateful for the work you do and will continue to be inspired to do all we can to help our son live a full and independent life.

    Highly recommend
    Michelle has helped me finally get my 13 year old autistic son to use the bathroom independently!!! He was unable to communicate when he needed to go so we had him in pull ups off and on and he was reminded to go every hour still with many accidents!!! Once I did the work with Michelle and she made me realize I was the one holding back my son from being successful he started to go by himself both number one and two!!! I don’t say this lightly it is a HUGE accomplishment !! I thought we would never get to this place and with many many nights cleaning up accidents and feeling depressed that he would maybe have to go to highschool not able to be independent with this skill and now he can and does!!! It was all about my mindset and if Michelle wasn’t there motivating me every week with emails, testimonials and calls I probably would have given up yet again… it was the push I needed to be a better parent for my son and to stop making excuses when my son had the potential all along!!! It may be a different journey getting there but it IS possible and sometimes us parents need support mentally and if we allow the process to work and stop putting doubts into our heads then all things are possible!!! GOD BLESS YOU MICHELLE!!!

    Champions for Our Children has helped my family in many ways with our 5-year old pre-verbal son. We initially needed help in potty training, and it was the main reason why we joined Michelle’s program. But she offered so many services that I needed as well such as speech, nutrition, behavioral, and so much more. The weekly zoom meetings helped tremendously. I look forward to the coach’s insight and I learn something new with each session. It’s amazing! The potty training is progressing well and we’re so excited on the small wins our son is making all due to the techniques and advice given by Michelle and her stellar team. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who’s in dire need of help with their little one on the spectrum.

    Thank you!
    Vision is not seeing things as they are but as they will be. Michelle and her team see the vision of our children’s futures and encourage, support and help parents to do the same. I tried potty training on my own with no success. And in the end I gave up, closed the door and retreated into a familiar life of pull-ups. I joined this program with a very heavy skeptical heart and a depression that had not been addressed. In just a few short months Michelle and her team knocked the door down, taught me the skills I needed, and helped grow my confidence. My daughter is potty trained, stays dry overnight and I’m just so indebted. If you have any hesitation on joining, let it go. Trust in yourself and this program.

    Awesome
    I have learned so much from Michelle! She was an integral part of potty training success with my children. She has answered questions outside of potty training and her advice was spot on! Highly recommended!

    Absolutely amazing coach!!
    Coaching with Michelle and her team has been invaluable! Having skilled, knowledgeable professionals to talk with has made my family life feel more peaceful. I am better informed after each session and am grateful to walk away from every coaching session with doable tips and tricks to use in various situations. I am really impressed with Michelle how organized and prepared she is and how quickly and clearly she communicates her ideas. Mindset coach have helped me with mindset changes, resets, concrete examples, and ideas for things to do in the moment. Now I am more in-tune with my daughter developmentally and I feel successful at the end of the day. This program is definitely one of the reasons that my daughter is now able to communicate her needs and wants and is fully potty trained. I highly recommend Michelle’s coaching. If you put in the work, you will see results. ❤️❤️

    GREAT SUPPORT!
    Michelle is a great support to have when you’re dealing with so much in the world of Autism! You can feel alone at times, but having her and her team of coaches can definitely bring you out of that.

    Get your child potty trained today!
    My daugther was 5 1/2 years old when we entered the program for potty training. At that point, I knew if my daughter didn’t get potty trained, I would have very little, if any options for desired schools and/ or childcare centers. Despite my daughter’s class being specifically for children on the autism spectrum, my daugther was the only child not potty trained, in her class. Of course, this also becomes a confidence issue for a child, as well. Thanks to Michelle and her team, my daugther is now 6 years old and fully potty trained! If you’re struggling to potty train your special needs child, I highly recommend being a student of Michelle’s program. You’ll learn simple skills to help you and your child potty train, and so much more. If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, it’s Definitely worth the investment!!
