Ep.38 Mom Charlotte Wilkinson on How Advocating For Your Neurodiverse Child in School Becomes a Full-Time Job

*Special Introduction: Mothers Together re-opens on September 1st! This is the place you can't find anywhere else on the internet - a judgement-free community with small support groups for moms like us, raising neurodiverse kids. Head to ontheharddays.com/motherstogether to sign up!

In This Episode: Charlotte is a mom who, just like the rest of us, fights fiercely for her child. We discuss at length how the education system often doesn't understand our children - especially with issues like field trips, inclusion, behavior struggles, etc. Charlotte not only is an advocate, but she has really great, innovative ideas for helping teachers and staff get to know our kids. We also talk about:

-What inclusion could look like for children with challenging behaviors
-Lack of equality in the classroom
-When "bad" behaviors = assumptions about the child's ability to learn
-The need for open communication between teacher and parent
