Part One of my S5E25 @schoolutionspodcast conversation challenges traditional classroom management. Dr. Courtney Bishop, a neurodivergent mom, shares a vital neuroscience principle that can reshape parenting neurodivergent kids and improve IEP meetings. This insight offers a fresh perspective for parents navigating school challenges and understanding their child's needs.
What You'll Learn:
✨ Why traditional behavior systems fail neurodivergent kids
✨ The difference between regulation and resilience (and why we need BOTH)
✨ Universal tools that work for educators, parents, and leaders
✨ Red flags that schools aren't neurodivergence-informed
✨ How to shift from deficit-focused to strength-based approaches
Courtney shares her signature framework for raising regulated AND resilient humans, debunking the myth that emotional awareness creates "soft" kids. This is essential viewing for teachers, education coaches, school administrators, parents, homeschoolers, teacher mentors, instructional leaders, and school counselors committed to inclusive teaching, culturally responsive teaching, and equity in education.
