Welcome to the world of neurodivergence!
If you or your child has been diagnosed with a neurodivergent condition, you may be feeling a range of emotions. But don't worry, you are not alone.
Neurodivergence is simply a term used to describe a range of conditions that affect the brain, such as ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. These conditions can present in a variety of ways, and some people may not even realize they are neurodivergent.
This week, Mary Klovance joins Hailey Kanigan to talk about the best ways parents and guardians can address signs of neurodivergence when they appear in their children.
Mary and Hailey discuss the difficult nature of understanding and treating different aspects of the neurodivergence spectrum. They talk about labeling and diagnosing different types of neurodivergence, and how different types of therapy can be extremely effective.
In this episode:
- Why the relationship with your child is the most important part of the whole process of labeling and diagnosing a neurodivergence.
- Understanding the “Oppositional defiant disorder” (need for control and autonomy)
- Mary’s favorite modalities to help understand and soothe what’s going on with your child
- Advice on where you can find the best research tools for better understanding neurodivergence in children and adults
- How our dopamine levels have a big impact on the way we see the world
The good news is that there is a lot of support and understanding available for neurodivergent people. With the right resources, you can learn how to manage your condition and thrive.
Mary is the owner/operator of Victoria BC's new Neurodiversity Family Centre and specializes in parenting support and helping youth ages 14+ with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), challenging behaviours and addiction issues. She has worked in private practice for two years, for over 5 years at Victoria's youth detox and shelter, and for over 10 years in the Victoria' School district as a school counsellor.
