## Resource

Lauren Edmunds draws on the story of Michelangelo's David to reframe what it really means to support children with learning difficulties and neurodiversity. Rather than trying to mould children into something they are not, she argues that the real work is in removing the barriers that are getting in the way: the anxiety, the overstimulation, the emotional dysregulation that stops their true selves from coming through. A thoughtful reflection on what it means to restore rather than reshape, and why the most powerful thing a parent, teacher or therapist can do is trust that the child they need is already there.
