Empowering Neurodivergent Kids: Sensory Differences and Education 

This episode of the Resilient Kid podcast features Helen Daniel, discussing the importance of understanding neurodivergence, particularly in educational settings.

Helen, who has a personal and professional background in neurodiversity, shares insights from her experiences, including speaking at the Big Festoon and her work on autistic and ADHD profiles. The conversation focuses on the sensory challenges neurodivergent individuals face in traditional educational environments and suggests practical strategies for parents and educators to create more inclusive and supportive settings.

This includes adjusting teaching methods, classroom environments, and rethinking the concept of resilience to better serve neurodivergent children. The discussion also emphasizes the need for societal change in how neurodivergence is understood and accommodated, with a call to action for parents, educators, and the education system at large.
