Episode 203: Educating Your Neurodivergent Child


Listen Later

Dr. Thomas Armstrong, Executive Director of the American Institute for Learning and Human Development, discusses the importance of supporting neurodivergent children. Dr. Armstrong shares how viewing neurodiversity as a strength, much like biodiversity or cultural diversity, can help parents reframe challenges, nurture their child's passions, and partner with teachers to highlight their child’s unique gifts. He also offers practical strategies such as strength-based learning, assistive technologies, developing a growth mindset, and connecting children with positive role models to create environments where students can thrive.
