#26. Breaking the mould: challenging movement norms in workplaces and schools for neuro-inclusivity, wellness and growth with Jess Meredith
from Make Movement Matter with Wendy Welpton · host Wendy Welpton
For the start of Season 3, I invited Jess Meredith, a neuro-diversity expert, to discuss the essential role of movement in our workplaces and schools. Jess talks and leads workshops about neuro-inclusivity and helping everyone to look at the environments they spend time in and think about changes that can be made to suit the needs of everyone. Jess shares tools and ways of interacting that help people who are neurodivergent feel safe, concentrate better and meet their bodies needs. We discussed how most of these needs can be met with interventions that would in fact benefit everyone and we shared ideas for the future of educational and work environments that benefit all. We discuss the importance of challenging social norms that are restricting individual’s movement needs and emphasise the importance of normalising movement for everyone to improve productivity, learning, and overall well-being. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Jess and could have continued for much longer! If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show by pressing Follow & giving a Rating.
