SPIRITED CHATS: S, A and M
Monday, 28 September, 2026
Sensory, affect, motor (S.A.M). Three letters that sit underneath almost everything we say on this show. In our very first Spirited Chat, Tracy explains where SAM came from and why every one of those letters has a high route and a low route of processing in the brain.Spirited Chats are our new short episodes: one idea, short enough to fit between clients or on the drive home. We started at the very core of the SPIRIT Model, because if you've ever heard us say "the low route of M" and felt like we were speaking our own language, this one is for you.Tracy traces SAM back to Dr Stanley Greenspan and shows the unique and amazing quality of her thinking mind as she builds on it. Using Dan Siegel's hand model of the brain, she explains why sensory processing splits into modulation and discrimination, and why affect and motor have their own high and low routes too. Michelle and Cory then bring it back to the clinic: how SAM guides assessment and intervention, and why having three clear places to look matters most when a child's presentation gets complicated.Clinical reasoning starts with clarity. We differentiate so we can integrate.Find the show notes and more Spirited Chats at https://www.spiritedconversationspodcast.com/Build your clinical reasoning with DFX's Learning Journeys: https://dfxlearningjourneys.thinkific.com/Instagram: @spiritedconversations_otYouTube: @spiritedconversations_OT Hosted on Acast.
