DESCRIPTION:

In this episode, Tem teams up with Cliff Kilmister from the soon-to-launch Parenting Autism and ADHD podcast to explore how teachers and parents can better support children with ADHD and autism. They discuss early identification, building strong parent-teacher communication, navigating the EHCP process, and the need for better training to create more inclusive, supportive classrooms.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Better training is needed to help teachers recognise signs of ADHD and autism.
• Collaboration between parents and teachers is crucial for student success.
• Children often mask their struggles, making it hard to identify their needs.
• Teacher-student relationships directly impact student outcomes.

BEST MOMENTS:

"Teachers should be aware of masking."

"We need to identify these children early."

"A happy student is one that learns better."

"Teachers need to be themselves and have fun."

"It takes a village to raise a child."

"Teachers need help from parents too."
