Empowering Neurodivergent Kids: Sensory Differences and Education
This episode of the Resilient Kid podcast features Helen Daniels, 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.
