Thanks for joining me, Holly Blanc Moses - The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist, on The Autism ADHD Podcast. Is a neurodivergent student in your life struggling at school?  You're not alone—and there ARE supports that actually work.

In this episode, I'm breaking down 5 game-changing school accommodations based on what parents, therapists, and educators are searching for most: communication supports, sensory regulation, executive functioning help, and more.

These aren't vague suggestions—they're real examples you can implement in the classroom, recommend in evaluations, or request in IEP and 504 meetings. These 5 supports help in the areas of communication, regulation, executive functioning, writing, social interaction and mental health! 

• Parents preparing for IEP or 504 meetings and advocating for your child's needs.
• Therapists identifying school supports that will help clients emotionally, socially and academically.
• Educators looking for practical classroom strategies that work.

🥁🥁🥁🥁 BIG BIG NEWS!!!

📚 Academic Supports (45 accommodations) From pre-teaching strategies to assistive technology, the tools students need to access the curriculum without barriers

🎨 Sensory & Environmental Supports (22 accommodations) Create a learning environment where your child can focus, regulate, and engage—not just survive

Hey friends—today I’m getting personal. I share what it was like to tell my dad and mom about my autism diagnosis at 50, how internalized ableism whispered “you’re not autistic enough,” and why believing kids is one of the most powerful ways to lower anxiety.

We talk masking that looked like “success,” sensory differences that shaped my days, the “my regular” story (Hi, Dairy Queen), and the moment validation turned fear into relief. If you’re a parent, therapist, educator—or navigating your own neurodivergent identity—this one’s for you.

What you’ll learn

• How internalized ableism shows up as “you seem so normal” and why it harms kids and adults

• The difference between looking fine and being okay: masking vs. mental health

• Sensory realities (sound, clothing, routines) that get mislabeled

• Why believing kids is a clinical + parenting superpower for reducing anxiety

• Simple ways families and professionals can respond with support

Ever asked an autistic and/or adhd child to do something “simple” and they had a meltdown or shutdown? Does it seem like they'll do anything to avoid?

In this episode, I'm breaking down the reasons behind the avoidance and I'll introduce you to The Doable Approach. It's my practical, neurodiversity-affirming approach that helps kids feel safe, understood, and capable.

In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why avoidance isn’t refusal ✅ The “invisible stacked blocks” that lead to meltdowns and shutdowns ✅ Practical ways to make tasks and time feel doable ✅ How to support mental health and increase confidence

🌟 This shift decreases anxiety, increases self-awareness and emotional regulation, and makes the impossible possible. Please take a listen and share:)

Ever wonder why it takes three hours to do 20 minutes of homework? Or why they freeze up when you ask them to get dressed? Join me, Holly Blanc Moses, and special guest, Leila Beikmohomadi, as we take a deep dive into processing speed differences in ADHD and autistic children and teens. We also share our lived experience with processing speed differences! 

What Parents, Therapists & Educators Will Learn:

• What processing speed actually is (hint: it's not about intelligence)
• How slower processing speed shows up at home and school
• Why anxiety makes processing speed even slower
• The mental health impact on kids who feel constantly behind
• Practical accommodations and strategies that actually work
• Why "hurry up" never helps and what to do instead

Does your child, student or client constantly forgetting what you just said? Struggling to follow directions, stay organized, or complete schoolwork? You’re not alone — and it’s not a behavior problem. It may be lower working memory.

In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I breaks down what working memory really is, why it’s often misunderstood, and how it impacts everything from transitions to conversations to homework. 

Most importantly — you'll walk away with compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming strategies that actually help at home, in the classroom, and beyond.

• What working memory is and why it’s so important

• How working memory fits into executive functioning

• Everyday examples of low working memory (and why they’re so frustrating)

• Why stress makes working memory even harder

• Components of the Working Memory

• How to support kids with low working memory at home and school

• Practical strategies that reduce overwhelm

When your neurodivergent child, client or student faces social rejection, how do you protect their self-worth while still helping them grow? Join Dr. Daniel Wendler and me, Holly Blanc Moses, for game-changing mindset shifts that support mental health. This isn't about lowering expectations or avoiding social situations. It's about teaching kids to measure success by how authentically they show up, not by other people's responses. We discuss why this approach actually leads to better social connections AND stronger mental health.

Whether your child, client, or student is struggling with friendship challenges, social anxiety, or that crushing feeling of "nobody likes me," this episode offers practical strategies you can use immediately!

At 50 years old, I still feel physically sick when I hear these two words. My throat closes up, my chest tightens, and I'm instantly transported back to being that confused, overwhelmed neurodivergent kid who could never seem to get things right.

Those words? "Should be."

In this vulnerable and eye-opening episode, I share how "should be" thinking is accidentally creating mental health crises in our ADHD and autistic children - and what to do instead.

Whether you are a parent, therapist or educator, you're going to gain valuable insights on how to better support neurodivergent kids:)

Sincerely,

Holly Blanc Moses - The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist

Welcome to The Autism ADHD Podcast. I'm glad you joined me today because my guest, Reid Miles, host of "Inside the Asperger's Studio," and I are talking about why it's so hard to move outside our comfort zone. We are also discussing how to move outside the zone with more comfort and confidence.

Some of the topics we are covering are: 

• Why forcing neurodivergent kids out of their comfort zone backfires
• The real reason behind the "I don't want to" responses
• How to use "starter sentences" to understand your child's fears
• The anchor person strategy for building confidence
• Small, doable steps that actually work
• Planning strategies for overwhelming environments
• Why shared interests make all the difference

After you take a listen, please share this episode! We appreciate you helping to spread the word about neurodiversity-affirming approaches:)

I'm honored to interview Jan Stewart, author of "Hold on Tight." In today's episode, she shares her powerful journey raising two neurodivergent children and provides five essential tips that every parent of ADHD and autistic kids needs to hear. Jan's wisdom comes from decades of advocacy, partnership-building, and learning to trust her instincts while navigating systems that often misunderstand our children.
