SENsational - The Special Educational Needs Podcast

On this episode of SENsational, we welcome Emma Weaver, Deputy CEO of the ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity and Stephen Howell, Lead Practitioner at Witherslack Group, as our expert speakers for our topic, Changing Perceptions: A Pathway to Positive Behaviour.

During our conversation, we look at why neurodiverse children sometimes have difficulty self-regulating, the impact of positive and negative language, what differences we may see between girls and boys, the influence that school can have on a child and their emotional responses, and of course, there are lots of top tips and support included as well!

ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition, characterised by hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention. For parents and carers, having a child diagnosed with ADHD can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. In this episode we chat with Lisa Rudge, Director of Parent Services at the ADHD Foundation on all things ADHD; what it is, what to expect, myths related to the condition, challenges and the positive traits. We also discuss some strategies parents and carers can put in place at home to help with routines.

We hope you enjoy listening!

For many, there is much joy in going for a run, a nice long walk or taking part in a team game, and we know the positive impact exercise can have on both adults and children; peace of mind, freedom and feel-good factor to name a few.

In this podcast, we discuss the positive impact that exercise can have on our neurodiverse children and young people, whilst recognising that, for some, it might not always feel like something they want to get involved in.

However, with encouragement and some imaginative ideas on what exercise can look like, we can help develop skills, friendships and confidence that will benefit our children for the rest of their lives.

Ed Wright, Deputy Head Teacher at both Avon Park and Dovetree Tree Schools is our guide and expert speaker on this session and a very passionate advocate of exercise.

We hope you enjoy listening!
