Kenneth Mims on Building Schools with Love for Neurodivergent Kids

Send us Fan MailKenneth Mims, founder of NERC (Neurodiversity Education Research Center) and author of "The Mother's Guide to Autism," joins Amanda and Leta to talk about what's broken in autism education — and what love, science, and smaller learning environments can fix. From his journey as a physics teacher discovering autism through a strength-based lens, to founding a private STEM school for neurodivergent students in Phoenix, Ken shares why parents are the real experts, why IEPs often fail families, and how research can drive real change. Plus, Leta weighs in on therapists, geologists, and why scientists have no survival instincts.Links:Kenneth Mims: https://kennethmimsii.wixsite.com/mysiteLeta Tap Styles Podcast: https://www.letatapstyles.comWant to be a guest on Leta's Tap Styles (And My Autistic Life)?
