In this insightful episode, Jeremy Rochford sits down with Amy Bodkin, Ed.S.—a former school psychologist, homeschooling consultant, and proudly autistic adult—to talk about what it really means to support neurodivergent kids in education and at home. Amy opens up about her own journey, sharing how her personal experiences shape the way she helps families navigate systems that often miss the mark for kids who think and learn differently.

Jeremy and Amy dive into the heart of what makes inclusive education work—not just in theory, but in real life. They talk about the power of empathy, the importance of customizing learning around a child’s strengths, and why flexibility matters more than rigid standards. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just curious about neurodiversity, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about how we define success for our kids—and why honoring their uniqueness might be the key to helping them thrive.
