Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Processing With Erin Jankus

In this episode of The Understanding Exceptional Mind Podcast, Dr. John Mather sits down with Erin Jankus, a veteran Speech-Language Pathologist and owner of a practice built on "family-first" Midwestern values. Together, they tackle one of the most pressing questions in the field today: What is really causing ASD? This conversation moves beyond the clinical checklists to explore the vital connection between sensory regulation and neurological development. Erin shares her "sensory-first" philosophy, arguing that the key to unlocking a child’s potential isn't just in the words they say, but in how they feel in their own bodies. This episode is a deep dive into the importance of meeting kids where they are, proving that when a child is regulated and having fun, profound growth follows naturally. Whether you are a parent, educator, or clinician, this episode offers a compassionate and insightful roadmap for supporting individuals with ASD through the lens of respect, dignity, and sensory health.

Originally from Chicago, she applies her Midwestern values to her clinical practice on a daily basis, treating every individual who walks through her doors like family.
