Welcome to Episode 8 of the Yellow Ladybugs podcast series  4  "Supporting Autistic Girls and Gender Diverse Students at School and Beyond."

This podcast series is brought to you by the Victorian Department of Education and Training.

“Can’t. Not Won’t”. This important panel from our Supporting Autistic Girls and Gender Diverse students at school and Beyond Conference will explore the very hot topic of school “refusal,” and reframe this as school can’t. School can’t and school trauma are real issues for so many in our community and we explain why they cannot be solved with a tough love approach. 

Katie Koullas  chats with Louise Rogers and Tiffany Westphall both amazing advocates and creators  of the school can't Facebook group and Nicole Bester an OT with both lived and professional experience. 

Please note this episode does contain references to suicide ideality, depression and mental health issues.
