Transitioning Through School
07/31/20 • 20 min
Join Granny Rhea and Auntie Donia (Professor Rhea Paul and Dr Donia Fahim) in today’s podcast as they talk about transitioning through school and how to support your child through the significant changes this brings.
They answer a question on why cognitively typical children might struggle academically at school. In ‘Things that make us go aargh’ they discuss hyper-focus on developmental differences and the importance of remembering that all children are different and develop at different times, but this doesn’t mean that there is an underlying diagnosis to find. And how to have fun making home-made audio books with favourite story books from your own home.
