On episode 10, we have a very special guest... @navigating.the.spectrum
Her name is Michele and She is a wife, mother to four children, and a fellow PODCASTER!
She launched Navigating the Spectrum on instagram and as a podcast back in 2020 and she is known for working with parents that are raising neurodivergent children.
She has a master’s degree in Special Education and is currently completing a master IEP certification.
I’m excited to have her as a guest because She had lots of lived and learned experience as a mom because three of her children have adhd, two of her children are autistic, one child is also dyslexic.
Most Recently both herself and her husband have received individual adhd diagnosis later in their adult lives.
