Did you know many visual disturbances in autistic children (or perhaps even with other disabilities) cannot be described just by visual acuity? Or even by visual processing?  Dana Johnson talks about Ocular Motor difficulties in many autistic children (and adults). It was eye-opening (yes, pun intended) to learn about the effect of ocular motor on peripheral vision, eye contact and more.  Disclaimer: The information in this Podcast is for educational purposes only.

24 Why is Eye Contact so hard? Ocular Motor and Autism with Dana Johnson

Where we raise the bar on Education for children with a disability.

Educating a child with a disability isn't for the faint of heart, and if you're a parent or educator who refuses to give up on your child's potential, you're in the right place.

Hosted by TEDx speaker and Ph.D. Chemist Dr. Vaish Sarathy [mom to a non-speaking Autistic teen with Down syndrome], this podcast offers a bold new way to support your child's learning, regulation, and independence without burnout or arbitrary busy work.

Together we explore how to:

- Break learning barriers so your child with Autism / Down Syndrome / ADHD can learn complex Math and Science

- Make teaching and learning at home a flow state

- Support brain + body health with practical, science-backed tools

- Use Non Linear Education strategies to unlock growth in ways traditional systems never could

Hear from top educators, researchers, and self-advocates. And most importantly, believe again: in your child, and in yourself.
