This week on the Ask a NICU Mama Podcast, host Ashley O’Neil is joined by Jane Cranston, a pediatric occupational therapist and founder of Tiny Transitions Therapy Consulting. Jane shares how her personal experience as a mother of a child with special needs shaped her approach to supporting families. We discuss the transition from the NICU to home, the importance of cultural humility in healthcare, and whyfamily-centered care and clear communication matter so much.

We also talk about empowering parents to trust their instincts, ask questions, and advocate for their children’s needs. Because parents deserve to be informed, respected, and included in the decisions that shape their child’s care.
