The Pause That Connects
The Pause for Movement: Connecting Through Physical Therapy
In this episode of The Pause That Connects, we’re joined by physical therapist Dr. Jenny Johnson and Rebekah Dilks, PTA for a powerful conversation about the unique role physical therapy can play in supporting neurodivergent individuals. We explore how PT can address both motor development and underlying regulation needs, and discuss when it might be the right time to seek services for your child.
Jenny and Rebekah also reflect on their personal journeys into the field, share how they collaborate with other professionals, and emphasize the importance of asking why—not just what. If you’re a parent, educator, or therapist working with neurodivergent learners, this episode is full of insight into how PT can become a collaborative, strengths-based part of the team.
