108 Educating Neurodiverse kids in a Neurotypical World - part 1
from Non Linear Learning - Rethinking Education for Neurodivergent Learners · host Vaish Sarathy
When your child learns in a Neurodivergent way - whether they have ADHD / are Autistic / have Down Syndrome, it is highly unlikely that a structured school environment that teaches concepts step-by-regimented step is working out for them. If you find your child stuck - learning the colors, learning the alphabet, learning numbers, it may be time to branch out. And by branching out, I mean dismissing the notion that addition is some sort of holy gateway to math. Move along the way of non-linear education - an interest based technique that allows your child to be a curious and effective learner. This podcast is a short dive in what Non-Linear Education means. If you want to learn more about non linear education, you can sign up for my course at www.functionalnutritionforkids.com/nonlineareducation If you want to hear about the journey of non-speakers, the movie SPELLERS will have its grand premiere very soon.
