Autism Education

from Strong Enough · host Christina Collura, Claudia King, Jenn Rishel

Have you ever had what you thought was a fantastic idea, but you let fear and insecurity convince you it wasn't so fantastic? One day, Christina Collura decided to create what she thought was a simple educational toy for her autistic son. It was a huge hit, and she thought maybe she should let others have access to her new creation. But then, fear crept in and convinced her that no one else would find it as useful as she did. However, with the help of her trusted support system, she had the courage and confidence to build Creative Beginning, the company that now provides education toys that provide specialized educational approaches for children and adults all over the world.Christina will share why educational empowerment for all and inclusivity are at the center of her mission, and she'll talk about her work to ensure all children have access to appropriate learning tools that will help them succeed. While Christina has a special place in her heart for helping those with autism, she has found her educational toys are benefitting children and adults of all ages and backgrounds!Don't let fear and insecurity stop you in your tracks. Your dreams are within your reach! From Christina's LinkedIn:With over 20 years of dedicated experience in education, my journey as an Elementary School Teacher at the Toronto District School Board has been deeply enriched by my role as CEO and Founder of Creative Beginning. At the heart of my mission is the empowerment of every child through specialized educational approaches, leveraging my expertise in special education and kindergarten pedagogy. Our team at Creative Beginning, fortified by my recent certification as a Certified Autism Resource, is committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment that honors diverse learning needs. My entrepreneurial spirit and passion for nurturing young minds are at the core of my professional ethos, aligning seamlessly with the values and mission of both my ventures.https://www.creative-beginning.com/ Strong Enough@[email protected]

Tales From The Rabbit Hole Mick West Tales from the Rabbit Hole is an interview-style podcast focusing on people whose lives have been affected by the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit A Podcast?! A Podcast?!
