221. A Letter To The Parents Of Our Kid's Peers
08/22/23 • 60 min
Friends, today we’re talking about school and friendship in a different way, this episode is to the parents of our kid's peers. We’re sharing our thoughts on having conversations every kid deserves to have about disability and why it’s important. We think about our own childhoods and our first interactions with people with disabilities. How we as parents can make intentional choices about the way we talk about disability with our kids. We share some encouraging moments we’ve seen other parents approach including our kids with Down syndrome. Let’s keep shifting those narratives parents, whether you have a child with Down syndrome or not!

220. Back To School Jumpstart w/ Dr. Vaish Sarathy
We are so excited to have Dr. Vaish Sarathy back on the show! Vaish is here to discuss counterintuitive ideas to jumpstart learning, reading comprehension, and so much more! She’s a Functional Nutrition Practitioner and Math and Science Educator. She comes to Nutrition and Education with a mission to reframe health, cognition, and learning for children with Down syndrome or Autism. Her perspective is shaped by her Autistic, non-speaking 16-year-old son, with Down syndrome: a published poet and author. She challenges all of us to rid the limiting assumptions from our expectations of where our learners should be in their educational journey. Instead: assuming intelligence aggressively, knowing our learners have the ability to learn and understand how to bridge the gaps to reach them. You don’t want to miss this one, friends!
