What if you could step inside your brain and see how it works? In this special Culture Kids adventure, we travel to an imaginative world called Brain Stations, where each stop helps us understand how our brains notice sounds, feel emotions, and connect with others. Joined by speech-language pathologist and autism advocate Ms. Andi, we explore how different brains experience the world in different ways and why that matters for friendship, understanding, and everyday life. Along the way, we’ll: Visit Sound Station and discover how people hear and process sounds differently Learn what it feels like when the brain becomes overwhelmed Explore ways to feel calm and safe again Travel to Connection Station to understand feelings and how we express them Learn how to be a thoughtful and supportive friend to someone whose brain works differently This episode helps children build awareness, empathy, and real-life tools for connecting with others, while reminding them that every brain has its own strengths.  About Our Guest: Andi Putt Andi Putt is a speech-language pathologist and autistic educator who helps families better understand communication, regulation, and connection in a strengths-based, supportive way.  Website: www.mrsspeechiep.com Instagram & Facebook: @mrsspeechiep  Special Announcement:In this episode, we explored the “downstairs brain,” which can take over when kids feel dysregulated. Andi has a new resource called The Regulation Routine, designed to help children become and stay regulated, available starting April 20th on her website:  ⁠www.mrsspeechiep.com Credits: Host & Producer: Kristen Kim Co Host: Asher Kim Co Producer: Andi Putt Sound Design & Edit: Kristen Kim Sound Design Elements: Envato Elements Academic Consultant: Elisha Li Audio Engineer: Robin Lai Nonprofit Consultant: Jesseca Ryan, Emil Kang This episode was made possible by the Arthur M Blank Family Foundation.
