Hotline: How Can Educators & Schools Better Support ND Children?

In this Hotline episode, Phyllis answers a listener question about how teachers (and others who work in schools) can better support neurodivergent children. 

Drawing from her own experiences with various educational environments for her daughter, Phyllis emphasizes:

• The importance of recognizing and accommodating individual needs in the classroom
• Understanding that all behavior is communication
• Why sensory breaks should never have to be "earned" and why withholding recess is counterproductive
• The need for regular communication between teachers and parents 
• Always presuming competence in neurodivergent students
