2. Navigating the System

Trying to navigate the health and education systems is one of the biggest challenges for parents of neurodivergent kids. Where do you start? And where do you go next? We know that early intervention, particularly for Autism and Dyslexia, gives the best chance of a positive outcome. But getting the right support isn’t easy - particularly as parents often don’t know what they are looking for.  Sonia chats to her guests about the importance of early intervention, the need for a clear roadmap and how we can reduce the stigma that surrounds neurodiversity.  Facebook: Kids Wired Differently  Guests:  Ngaire and Waiaio  Victoria Girling-Butcher   Lucy Charles paediatricOT  Guy Pope-Mayell Dyslexia Foundation of NZ  Justine Munro Neurodiversity in Education    Resources:  Dyslexia Foundation of NZ  NZ Centre for Gifted Education  Autism NZ  ADHD NZ  4d.org.nz    Featured Song: Victoria Girling-Butcher The Giver and the Gift See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
