5 Simple Shifts to be more Truly Neurodiversity Affirming

5 Simple Shifts to be more Truly Neurodiversity Affirming

In today's episode, I'm going to run you through five simple shifts that you can make to take your practices from what we might call old ways towards a truly neurodiversity affirming approach. We're going to cover interest based learning, accepting old play as valid, understanding and honoring sensory challenges or differences, whether we should be teaching children to learn flexibility or not, and what we should do instead of saying "use your words" to children, which is probably one of my most hated phrases.

Keep learning with me!
