Children of Oneness Ft. Suzy Miller

Understanding Whole-Body Apraxia

In this episode of The Telepathy Tapes: Now What?, Betsy Hicks and Libby Ingram sit down with occupational therapist and autism researcher Dr. Dana Johnson to explore the concept of whole-body apraxia and why so many assumptions about autism may be based on motor challenges rather than intellectual limitations. Together they discuss the difference between speech apraxia and whole-body apraxia, why traditional assessments often miss the mark, the role of co-regulation, sensory processing, interoception, emotional regulation, and why behaviors are so often misunderstood. Dr. Johnson also explains how motor coaching can help individuals access what they already know and why understanding the body is essential to truly presuming competence.

Children of Oneness Ft. Suzy Miller

In this deeply moving conversation, Betsy Hicks Russ and Libby Ingram sit down with intuitive communicator and autism researcher Suzy Miller to explore the profound shift in consciousness many families are beginning to witness through their nonspeaking children. Together they discuss the tension between seeing autism as a tragedy versus recognizing the gifts these children may carry including telepathy, deep energetic sensitivity, and an innate connection to oneness. Suzy shares her perspective on coherence, collective consciousness, “The Hill,” grief, regulation, and why many nonspeaking individuals seem resistant to the conditioned world of separation humanity has built. The conversation also dives into the importance of spelling as validated communication, the ethics of telepathic connection, and the ways these children may be inviting us into a more compassionate, interconnected way of being.

The Children Who Came to Wake Us Up Ft. Martha Beck

There is a quiet paradox many parents of high-support-needs children carry: How can someone be the greatest light in your life and the greatest source of heartbreak? In this profound conversation, bestselling author and spiritual teacher Martha Beck joins Betsy Hicks Russ and Libby Ingram to explore the sacred, painful, transformative reality of raising children who challenge everything we thought we knew about consciousness, suffering, purpose, and love. Martha shares the story of her son Adam’s diagnosis with Down syndrome while she was studying at Harvard University, and the psychic experiences that changed her materialist worldview and sent her searching for a deeper understanding of reality.

The System Got It Wrong

In this episode of Now What?, Betsy Hicks Russ and Libby Ingram sit down with engineer and independent researcher Becca Cramer to explore one of the most debated and rapidly evolving topics in the autism world: spelling as a form of communication. As more non-speakers begin expressing themselves through letter boards and typing, a growing number of families, educators, and professionals are rethinking long-held beliefs about intelligence, language, and autonomy. And yet, despite thousands of individuals demonstrating clear, complex communication, these methods remain widely dismissed by major institutions and are often excluded from classrooms and covered care. So what’s holding things back? Together, they unpack the science and the skepticism. From the role of apraxia and the limits of traditional speech-based models, to the controversy around influence, message passing, and what it really means for something to be considered “evidence-based.” Becca brings a grounded, analytical perspective to the conversation by bridging research, lived experience, and the questions the scientific community still needs to answer.
