Manage episode 419596295 series 3428129
While working in the classroom as a teacher in both special education and general education settings, and in helping her own kids learn to read, Melissa Jackson started to notice that the teaching methods she had been taught in teacher prep courses didn't work equally with neurotypical and neurodivergent learners.
So what did she do about it?
Today, Melissa and Dr. Emily King discuss the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in traditional educational settings, advocating for a strengths-based approach and emphasizing the importance of collaboration between educators and parents. They also touch on topics like early intervention for children with learning differences, emotional regulation for individuals with ADHD, and task management strategies.
Tune in to gain insights on navigating the complexities of neurodivergent identities with acceptance and self-compassion.
