Summary

🎙️ New Episode Alert! 🎙️

In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I’m chatting with Dr. Ben Miraglia a dental expert with over 30 years of experience, about something that might not be on your radar: mouth breathing and how it affects neurodivergent kids.

We dive into:
😴 How mouth breathing can lead to sleep problems and emotional dysregulation
🦷 Key signs to look for, like teeth grinding and crowded teeth.
👃 Why nasal breathing is so important for overall health.

Dr. Moralia breaks it all down in a way that makes sense and shares practical tips and resources —including how early jaw growth treatments and myofunctional therapy can make a huge difference.

Whether you’re a parent or professional, this episode is full of actionable advice to help the neurodivergent kids in your life.

🎧 Tune in now:)

Sincerely,

Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist
