With us on the show to address this heavy topic is renowned expert Dr. Lisa Zaretsky, who highlights, in full color, the challenges faced by neurodivergent students and the limitations of the current education system. Dr. Zaretsky explains the concept of educational trauma and how it differs from general struggles in school, as well as the long-lasting impact on self-esteem, behavior, and mental health. We talk about interventions that can actually change the brain and build resilience in ALL children, while helping parents with warning signs to look for and action steps to take. Although it’s not a light listen, it’s one you might not want to miss.
