Episode 12: What practices are actually Neurodiversity Affirming?

One key aspect of advocating for neurodiversity-affirming practices is rejecting harmful approaches like behaviorism and functioning labels. Behaviorism reduces individuals to a set of behaviors to be modified, often neglecting the underlying needs and experiences of neurodivergent people.
Instead of relying on behaviorism, we should focus on evidence-based practices rooted in neuroscience. These approaches are built on a foundation of understanding how the brain functions and how neurodivergent individuals can thrive. This means looking at interventions and therapies that are backed by scientific research.
We should draw inspiration from adult autistic rights activists like Jim Sinclair. Their advocacy has been instrumental in promoting acceptance, understanding, and support for autistic individuals. It's a reminder that the voices and perspectives of neurodivergent adults are invaluable in shaping our parenting and educational practices.
What does it look like to practice neurodiversity-affirming parenting? It starts with recognizing and respecting your child's unique neurocognitive profile. It means creating an environment that supports their individual needs, interests, and strengths.
The principles of neurodiversity should also extend into the educational, medical, and all other systems of society.

Giftedness is a neurotype. Gifted individuals demonstrate exceptional abilities in areas like intellectual, creative, artistic, and leadership skills. Just as neurodiversity recognizes diverse cognitive profiles, giftedness highlights the unique strengths and talents that individuals possess. Gifted individuals have distinct cognitive needs and ways of processing information. While gifted education aims to provide tailored opportunities for advanced learners, it's not without its challenges. We'll discuss how gifted education can sometimes overlook the unique social and emotional needs of gifted individuals. However, when done right, it can foster growth, curiosity, and a love for learning. Navigating the intersection of giftedness and neurodiversity requires a nuanced approach. It's crucial to recognize that gifted individuals can also have neurodivergent traits, such as ADHD or sensory sensitivities. This intersectionality can greatly influence their learning experiences.

Episode 4: Becoming an Imperfect Advocate
Check out my book at https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-imperfect-advocate-d-w/1144444132
In this episode I share why I wrote a book. I share more details of my personal history involving dispute resolution within the special education system in Georgia, USA. It provided me with a wealth of experiences, insights, and challenges. I utilized this background knowledge to write my book, "The Imperfect Advocate".
I share my IEE request letter and ultimately the IEP revocation letter that lead up to the final withdrawal from public school education all together.
Find more information on IEP and IEE at: https://adayinourshoes.com/iee-independent-education-evaluation/
I want to share my experience to help parents understand that if they are currently in the public school and special education battle, they're not alone. I have been there too. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
My hope is that season 2 will help people realize and empathize with other homeschool families like myself. Parents should work together to facilitate change and fight for all education to improve to work for the families that the tax dollars are from.
