Is it misbehavior—or a regulation challenge? In this powerful episode, Wendy Taylor sits down with Polina Shkadron, trauma-certified speech language pathologist and founder of Play to Learn Consulting.

With over 15 years of experience in Autism, ADHD, and ARFID, Polina shares the science and soul behind behavior, regulation, and connection.
