We discuss bullying

We discuss emotional regulation: what it is, what it looks like (or doesn't look like), why it's different than behavioral regulation, and strategies for home and school. 

This is a 9 minute episode in which Natalie and Claire discuss whether or not some of Natalie's comments are mean-spirited. We also discuss some of the social impact of ADHD. 

We discuss speech therapy, assistive communication devices, and Wisconsin. 

We interview the amazing Cassie, a social worker and a mom who also has cerebral palsy. She discusses her experiences growing up and how that shaped who she is, how she sees disability, and how she parents. 

We talk to a classroom teacher about the process of identifying learning disabilities.  She explains interventions that happen before a child is referred for a special education evaluation and gives her advice about how to approach teachers when you are concerned about your child. 

We address a message from a listener about how to start the process of getting help for your child.

 We break down previous episodes into small chunks. This is a summary that hopefully conveys the information in a quick and useful way and is easier to understand. 

A lot of people have questions about how to make sure kids with disabilities get what they need during online or hybrid learning. And we want to make sure we aren't accidentally breaking the law as we balance keeping kids safe with giving them what they need to learn.  Claire interviews a special education lawyer to find out more. 

Natalie and Claire discuss nuances of schools and disability services.
