In today's episode, Dale is joined by Susana Gonzalez, the director and founder of ND Bright Brains, who brings over 20 years of experience in education. They discuss supporting neurodivergent learners in secondary schools and further education. Neurodivergent students often face unique challenges in environments that aren't designed to meet their needs. As awareness of neurodiversity grows, it's crucial for educational settings to shift from compliance-based models to a more student-centred approach that embraces inclusion. Susana emphasises the importance of neurodiversity training, flexibility in school processes (including behaviour policies), and collaborative problem-solving to tailor support for each individual. This includes classroom adaptations, personalised learning plans, and facilitating smooth transitions. Key takeaways: Avoid rigidity; flexibility is essential. Recognise that every student is unique. Remember, it's not solely the teacher's responsibility. Highlight the importance of awareness and training. Understanding neurodiversity can truly transform the educational experience for both teachers and students, fostering more effective support and empowering learners to advocate for themselves.

Joining us for this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning is Barbara Arrowsmith-Young! Barbara is a pioneering author and innovator in neuroeducation, known for applying neuroplasticity to improve cognitive function. Since 1978, her work has helped individuals with learning difficulties, brain injuries, addiction, and age-related decline, and it is now used worldwide. She shares her groundbreaking journey in her bestselling book The Woman Who Changed Her Brain and her TEDx talk, and continues advancing research as Director of the Arrowsmith program. In this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning, Barbara shares her deeply powerful journey of overcoming significant learning difficulties she faced from a young age. Growing up in the 1950s, Barbara was labeled as "slow" and was told by her teachers not to have high expectations for her academic future, but despite the challenges, her mother's determination and Barbara's resilience allowed her to learn how to read, write, and do basic math, although she continued to struggle with comprehension and processing language. As an adult, Barbara had an epiphany after reading the work of neuropsychologist Alexander Luria. She discovered that the root of her learning difficulties was due to specific areas of her brain that were underperforming, so inspired by research on neuroplasticity, she set out to create cognitive exercises that could strengthen those weaker brain regions. She reflects in this episode on how, to her amazement, the exercises led to a huge change in her cognitive abilities, allowing her to fully engage in conversations, understand complex concepts, and more. Barbara discusses how she was determined to share this life-changing approach,  founded the Arrowsmith School, and developed the Arrowsmith Program, which has now helped thousands of students around the world. She passionately advocates for integrating neuroscience and cognitive training into education, empowering all learners to enhance their brain's capacity and unlock their full potential. If you enjoy this episode, you will have the wonderful opportunity to learn more about Barbara's work during a live webinar on September 17th, 2025. Don't miss this chance to dive deeper into the power of neuroplasticity and how it can transform the lives of students who struggle with learning differences!

There are only a couple people in the world who give me voice envy, but our expert today is one of them. And even with me saying that, he doesn't believe his own voice is truly radio ready.   Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.   My guest today is Mike Sealy. Mike is a wonderful man with almost three decades of experience in building people up. Despite this, Mike still suffered from Imposter Syndrome when promoted to a new level. It's nothing to be embarrassed about, as every human since the dawn of time has probably felt it at least once, and it will undoubtably outlast us all. So stick around and let Mike use his cheerful voice to charm you out of feeling like a failure. Also! The People's Choice Podcast Awards have announce I am in the top 10 slate for Society and Culture. That itself is a huge honor, and I cannot wait to find out how I stack up against the very high profile competition there. ( Https://Www.Linkedin.Com/In/SealyMike/ )  ( https://a.co/d/8lijDo6 will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "MINDSET UNLOCKED: How Leaders, Learners, and Dreamers Crush Self-Doubt and Unlock True Potential" )  Let's stop being imposters!  This has actually been a really big month for imposter syndrome for me. Along with the award nominations, and all the travel, I've also started an Instagram art account that has blown up! It certainly makes me feel like I'm not supposed to be surrounded by the people I am, but I'm thankful for the friends and fans who have kept me grounded and grateful!    In ranking news... August is here, and the global ranks are now as follows:  1. The United States, with Texas, Wisconsin, and Washington at an early lead.  2. Australia, with Victoria Just over their Southern friends.  3. Canada, with Ontario just over Nova Scotia.  4. Ireland 5. Scotland of the United Kingdom, leading their British partners.  That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!  Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.  Reach out to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or on any social media if you want to reach me personally.  Most importantly, Stay Dumb!  #Podcast #Education #ImposterSyndrome #Imposter #SelfDoubt #Selfbelief #Art #Hobby #WorkLife
