Today, I sat down with Scotty Weintraub, owner of Reframe Parenting—a way to help parents work with and help their neurodivergent children. Do mind there were a few technical hiccups, but you might not notice them, we were laughing a lot at things just going on the fritz, however, we still had an amazing conversation.
