S3 E29: The NeuroWild Shift for Neurodivergent Kids at School with Emily (Em) Hammond of NeuroWild

Emily (Em) Hammond is the incredible human behind NeuroWild - an illustrated movement to better the learning experiences for neurodivergent children across the globe. In this episode, Em introduces her NeuroWild Shift - “a new education shift for neurodivergent kids at school. If you are a teacher, this is for you. If you have a neurodivergent kid at school, this is for you (to give to the teacher). If you are a coordinator or principal or work in a school- have a read.”  

Listeners will leave the conversation inspired to advocate for all learners, knowing they (and their unique qualities) are essential assets to their learning communities.
