Understanding Neurodiversity
Episode description
Neurodiversity reshapes our world.
In this episode, Kate explores the world of neurodiversity with guest Sam Young, a growth-minded educator and advocate for twice-exceptional learners.
They unravel the challenges and gifts that come with being neurodivergent—such as ADHD, autism, and dyslexia—shedding light on the importance of understanding, embracing, and supporting diverse minds.
Sam’s own journey as a neurodivergent individual and his work with Young Scholars Academy brings insights into fostering environments where children can explore their strengths, develop self-regulation, and ultimately, thrive in a society that is learning to celebrate cognitive differences.
