Description

Welcome back to The Sensational Kids Show, in this episode Aniesa reflects on her experience at the international sensory integration conference.. Discover why inclusion is so important to children's development, how we can use technological advances in education to improve learning and why including others makes everyone's life simpler.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• We've seen a lot of advances in medicine and technology, however often it is not made available to the younger generation. For example, when it comes to education, children are not allowed to use a laptop which may help a struggling child. 

• We all have vestibular learning needs to varying degrees and if we had the equipment in classrooms children would self-regulate and those that need it more would thrive. 

• Inclusion stretches to all areas of parenting from playdates to parties, for example, we need to be aware of phobias, obsessions, compulsions and special interests so that we can incorporate and include everyone. 

• Being inclusive is just thinking about how we can approach people and make everyone's life simpler. 

BEST MOMENTS

ABOUT THE HOST

She has worked across a range of paediatric fields and has extensive experience in autism, specific learning difficulties, as well as anxiety and emotional regulation. 

Aniesa has one teenage son with autism, and one with sensory difficulties. She herself was diagnosed at a late age as having ADHD and has found that understanding her neurodivergence has led to a greater connection with children and their parents.
