In this episode, Nancy Tarshis and I delve into the importance of seeing children as whole individuals—not just through the lens of labels.” Together, we explore the complex interplay of strengths and challenges faced by 2e and autistic children, and why it’s essential to go beyond diagnostic categories to truly understand and support them. Nancy's journey from social skills to social thinking was transformative and led her to become not only an educator but a trainer on how to authentically support social skills across schools in this country.Nancy shares her deep clinical insight on how meaningful connection begins with knowing each student personally - what drives them, what they care about, and what they need to thrive. She emphasizes that when we empower children to identify and advocate for their own needs, we foster not only growth but self-determination.You can find Nancy on https://www.socialthinking.com/collaborative, and you can reach her via email at [email protected] Unmasking Social at: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unmaskingsocial1YouTube: Unmasking Social: The Podcast - YouTube
