Does your child struggle in school? Maybe academics are the challenge. Perhaps their difficulties are more related to the social or emotional aspects of school. Does your child have a diagnosis such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, dysgraphia, etc? Do sensory processing challenges impact your child’s success? If any of these ring true, this episode is here to empower YOU.Join Erica and Cassie as we chat with our special guest, Teresa Nair. Teresa helps families navigate the complex journey of neurodiversity—including but not limited to those who are twice exceptional. You’ll hear about Teresa’s path from Silicon Valley to public and private education. In this jam-packed episode, we discuss:What is 2e (twice exceptional)? How do we know if our child is 2e?The power of utilizing a strength-based paradigm to support neurodivergent education and shifting away from focusing only on one’s deficits.The gifts that come with being neurodivergent. The important role neurodivergent people play in making sure our societal “tribe” thrives.Addressing the question, “What happens when the ‘traditional ways’ of child-rearing and educating are not working?” Teresa provides insight to help us stop “the continuation of struggle” and instead become curious, ask questions, find community, and explore different opportunities. If your family faces challenges with education, you don’t have to accept your current reality if it doesn’t feel right. There are options, and this episode serves as a stepping stone onto your new path.**Resources**https://www.reel2e.org/Books by Dr. Thomas Armstrong: https://www.institute4learning.com/book-table/ADHD 2.0 by Dr. Hallowell and Dr. Ratey: https://drhallowell.com/read/books-by-ned/Ross Green’s work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvzQQDfAL-Q Uniquely Human by Barry Prizant: https://barryprizant.com/uniquely-human/**Contact Teresa**[email protected] ***Music credits***Uppbeat (free for Creators!); https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/clear-sky; License code: GQGN7ICA9D8IDOUT
