Why does our education system not seem to work for neurodivergent children? Is it working for anyone?If our learning goals today are centered on creativity and innovation, why are we still following a model based in conformity and standardization?As a neurodivergent person myself, parent to neurodivergent children, and a former educator I have such compassion for the families and teachers trying to navigate this system. It feels like we’re up against this huge system that can’t support the ways our kids think, and it’s so defeating to think about what do we even do?So in this episode I really want to get into why the system is set up the way that it is, get real about the implications of following an approach that has different end goals than our own, and talk about some action steps we can take to start shifting the system in our favor. Because what benefits neurodivergent kids benefits all kids.Show Notes⁠FOLLOW OUR SHOW + REVIEW SO YOU DON’T MISS A THING ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with me on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠@neurodiversity_advocate⁠⁠⁠⁠ Is your child struggling to thrive in their current classroom?Snag my FREE equitable learning environments pamphlet.
