Supporting Your Neurodivergent Child at School and Home

Welcome to the very first episode of Supporting Your Neurodivergent Child. 
In this episode, we're starting with an important foundation: 5 things neurodivergent kids really need the adults in their lives to understand. 
Children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, exceptionality, dyslexia, giftedness, learning differences, anxiety, and other forms of neurodivergence are often navigating environments that weren't designed with their brains in mind. When adults shift how we interpret behaviour, learning, and regulation, we can support these kids in more effective and compassionate ways. 
Whether you're a parent, an educator, or a clinician, this episode explores key ideas that can help us better understand and support neurodivergent kids at school, at home, and in everyday life.

Today marks the final episode of the School Psych Podcast - but don't worry, the podcast itself isn't ending. It's evolving! Over time, I realized that while the original title of the podcast reflected my profession as a school psychologist, it didn't fully capture what these conversations are really about: understanding and supporting your neurodivergent children. 
Starting with the next episode, the podcast will continue under a new name: 
 "Supporting Your Neurodivergent Child" 
The mission stays the same - helping the adults in kids' lives better understand how they learn, regulate, and thrive at school, at home, and beyond. 
If you're already subscribed, you don't need to do anything. The next episode will simply appear in your feed under the new title. 
Thanks for being part of this learning journey!

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns in children, teens, and adults - and is one of the most misunderstood. 
In this deep dive episode, I walk you through what anxiety actually is (from both a clinical and practical lens), how it shows up in real life, and where to begin if you or your child are struggling. 
Whether you're a parent, an educator, or someone navigating anxiety personally, this replay episode will help you understand what's happening in the brain and body - and what actually helps.

This episode is a follow-up to the "Fall Start-Up" episode (#82). If you are a licensed educational psychologist (LEP), school psych, or school clinician, you're going to want to listen to this one. Winter is not coming... winter is HERE, and we are officially halfway through the school year. It's time to take stock of our to-do list, and how much we've been able (or not) to achieve so far. The point of this is not just to celebrate how far we've come but also to re-evaluate our priorities for the rest of the school year and what we realistically have time for.
