In this Hotline episode, Phyllis answers a listener question about how teachers (and others who work in schools) can better support neurodivergent children.
Drawing from her own experiences with various educational environments for her daughter, Phyllis emphasizes:
- The importance of recognizing and accommodating individual needs in the classroom
- Understanding that all behavior is communication
- Why sensory breaks should never have to be "earned" and why withholding recess is counterproductive
- The need for regular communication between teachers and parents
- Always presuming competence in neurodivergent students
