In this episode of the Sensory Classroom podcast, Jordan and Sammie discuss the concept of age-appropriateness in education, particularly for neurodivergent students. They explore how societal perceptions of what is deemed appropriate can impact the interests and needs of children with complex communication needs.

The conversation emphasises the importance of creating safe spaces for students to express their interests without judgment, advocating for a person-centred approach that prioritises individual needs over societal expectations. They also touch on the challenges caregivers face in public settings and the importance of community support.
