Educating a child with a disability isn't for the faint of heart, and if you're a parent or educator who refuses to give up on your child's potential, you're in the right place. Hosted by TEDx speaker and Ph.D. Chemist Dr. Vaish Sarathy [mom to a non-speaking Autistic teen with Down syndrome], this podcast offers a bold new way to support your child's learning, regulation, and independence without burnout or arbitrary busy work. Together we explore how to: - Break learning barriers so your child with Autism / Down Syndrome / ADHD can learn complex Math and Science - Make teaching and learning at home a flow state - Support brain + body health with practical, science-backed tools - Use Non Linear Education strategies to unlock growth in ways traditional systems never could Hear from top educators, researchers, and self-advocates. And most importantly, believe again: in your child, and in yourself.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/non-linear-learning-rethinking-education-for-neurodivergent-learners-717057"},"episode":{"title":"206.

Have you noticed that it often feels like it's about everyone else's comfort? Dr. Diana Fannon spent 24 years inside public school systems as a bilingual school psychologist and director of special education. She now works with families. And in this podcast, she shares with us a few red and green flags of special education. 🎙️ Tune in to this episode to learn: 👇 Why \"inclusive\" school districts still often segregate kids with disabilities - and the one red flag that tells you immediately The difference between a goal written for your child vs. a goal written for the teacher's comfort Where in the IEP you can actually write instructions for the teacher not just the student Why Universal Design for Learning saves teacher time instead of adding to it etc. The \"system\" unfortunately was not built to find your child's intelligence.
