When the Neurodiversity Show was cancelled this year, Dr Martin Bloomfield wanted to pay tribute to Arran Smith's original concept, while keeping part of the conversation alive by bringing together some of the speakers, with the support of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, and created this one-off online event: The Neurodiversity Empowered 2025. The first of a series of talks from the said event is a keynote speaker Toni Horn. Toni shares valuable strategies for supporting neurodivergent children, focusing on topics like social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH), emotional regulation, online engagement, and managing anxiety in neurodivergent children. She provides practical advice on fostering a growth mindset, supporting sleep, and utilizing multi-sensory approaches to aid children with dyslexia and ADHD. The episode emphasizes the importance of role models and clear communication within families, making it an essential listen for parents and educators of neurodivergent children. Stay tuned for the rest of the speakers.Follow Toni on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonikhorn Book A Call with Toni: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/appointments/schedules/AcZssZ254maz-q1kq7LaUQqDwpiyQaE-kPoPyhnehty9QtdReNyfdGzazAAD3WIESMQD-35iUpJeA1A9 NeuroEmpower website: https://neuroempower.org/?blog=y This podcast is sponsored by: Dyslexia productivity coaching?: http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/ Dyslexia Quiz: https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/Bulletmap Academy: https://bulletmapacademy.comHow to Mindmap: https://www.bulletmapacademy.com/courses  Interested in being a guest?

Special Guest: Annie Fox Annie Fox is an Award winning writer, app developer and Educator Focusing on Social-Emotional learning and character development. Annie aims to teach kids to be good people because we need more good people. We are all villagers, so it's up to us. Some of her books include: Teaching Kids to Be Good People, Too Stressed to Think?, the Middle School Confidential book and app series, and the Raymond and Sheila picture books series. Annie's latest book, The Girls' Q&A Book on Friendship, offers 8-12 year old girls (and their parents/teachers) 50 ways to fix a friendship without the DRAMA. And that topic, talking to girls about friendship, is what lands her on the show today and we couldn't be more excited. Girls and friendship. For some, this topic makes them smile and think of the most endearing, close, meaningful relationships of their lives. For others, it makes them sweat and feel a little sick. Maybe it's a little bit of both! The post How to Talk to Girls about Drama-Free Friendships with Annie Fox – Rerelease appeared first on Dr Robyn Silverman.

Join me as I speak with Dr. Jenet Erickson, an associate professor in the Department of Church History and Doctrine at BYU as we explore how supportive, home-based parent-child relationships impact behavioral and social outcomes and the ways strong family connections build resilience in children, and how modern challenges like societal pressures and shifting family dynamics can affect these bonds. Dr. Erickson will also share insights on how parents who work outside the home can still create meaningful connections and how both parents' involvement fosters children's social, cognitive, and emotional growth.

Dr. Matt Zakreski, PsyD, joins me to explore neurodiversity—a term often used, but not always fully understood. Neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, bipolar disorder, and more, experience measurable differences in how their brains function. It's not about won't, but can't—and that distinction matters.In classrooms, teachers frequently encounter neurodiverse learners, yet most lack proper training to support their unique needs. Dr. Matt addresses this gap through his conference talks, educator training, and his book, The Neurodiversity Playbook.Expecting neurodivergent students to thrive without tailored support is like asking a child to ride a bike without training wheels or a helmet. Their brains aren't wired to naturally absorb social and emotional skills in the same way neurotypical peers do. But research shows that with intentional, structured support, these learners become more social, adaptable, and engaged.This creates a powerful cycle: when students do better, they feel better—and when they feel better, they do even better.Dr. Matt offers practical resources for neurodivergent individuals and those who support them, aiming to foster environments where every learner can succeed.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:What is Nuerodivergent and does it apply to?Outlining the manifestations of ADHDSupporting learners in social emotional learning.Mentioned In This Episode:Dr Matt ZakreskiDr. Matt Zakreski on Facebook Matthew Zakreski on LinkedIn Dr. Matt Zakreski (@drmattzakreski) on InstagramABA Speech: Home

Dyslexic children often struggle with the social impact of their learning difficulties. In this episode, I discuss the social-emotional effects of dyslexia, how they can impact your child socially, and ways to support the dyslexics in your life through these times. After a dyslexic child receives the instructional and academic help they need, the social-emotional side effects often linger. Some of the effects dyslexia could have on your child include low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, frustration, anger, or depression. Often, once a child realizes they learn differently than the rest of their class, low self-esteem may kick in, quickly followed by frustration or anger. The weight of comparison and internalized feelings can impact the social areas of a dyslexic's life. These social areas can include social isolation, bullying, teasing, and poor peer relationships. When a student realizes they're different from their peers, they may pull back so they don't have to speak in front of their classmates. This can continue into adulthood! Making and keeping friends can sometimes be difficult. We can help the dyslexics in our lives deal with the social-emotional effects by helping them create positive coping strategies, build upon their innate strengths and talents, and create strong support systems around them. I offer examples of this in practice. If managing the social-emotional effects continues to be a struggle, consider working with a therapist.

Kailyn is a passionate and engaged educator who firmly believes in the transformative power of mindfulness and social-emotional learning (SEL). For years, she has integrated these practices into her own classroom in order to support students on their personal journeys.Recently, it has become evident that supporting students needs to also include ensuring that the adults in their sphere also feel safe and emotionally competent. Thus, Upstream Collaborative was born to welcome exploration of these skills for children, families, teachers and schools.A certified teacher, Kailyn received her Master's in Education specializing in Mindfulness for Educators from Antioch University. She also has a certificate in Positive Education from Laurier University. Currently, she is back at Antioch as a doctoral student, specializing in SEL. She is also en route to becoming a certified mindfulness teacher under the mentorship of Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program.I hope you find this episode valuable!

There seem to be similarities and even some overlap between social workers and teachers in regard to their perspectives and how we conceptualize the importance of interpersonal relations and work towards developing those skills. Social-Emotional Learning is an educational concept being taught in school curriculum. It's about individual learning and application of a set of social, emotional, and related skills, behaviors, and values that enable students to succeed in school. How might we, as adults develop our own ability to connect with others and grow emotionally and socially?

If you're anything like me, you've noticed over the past decade or so the emergence — or at least the increased use of — the word neurodivergent.   And if you're anything like me, you heard the term and made some assumptions about what it meant, what and who it described, and why it started showing up in more places and in more conversations…perhaps without really understanding or knowing much of the backstory or origins.   My guest in this episode is Meghan Bonde, a neurodiversity specialist and a former educator, and even she acknowledges the recent increase in usage of the phrase neurodivergent, despite the fact that it's been around longer than perhaps you and certainly I realized.   But Meghan brings a perspective beyond just the usage of the word, as well as some terms and descriptions that might be new to you, as they were to me.   As you'll hear Meghan explain, neurodivergent individuals have a different way of perceiving the world, and she emphasizes the importance of understanding these differences from a strength-based perspective, rather than how she believes they've been treated for so long — as dividing labels.   Check out Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted at https://www.sengifted.org/ or Meghan's work at https://www.teamneurodivergent.com/.   Connect with Meghan at https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghan-bonde-connect/. 

In this episode Jessica and Cara discuss social, emotional learning for young people.

They also stress the importance of repairing relationships with children when parents make mistakes, and the need to allow children to experience difficult emotions and navigate through them.

In this episode, Julie and Ginger discuss the Vagus nerve and other occupational therapist topics with Allison Morgan.  Allison is the founder and CEO of Zensational Kids, an educational company with the vision of providing schools and organizations with professional development focused on boosting mental health and well-being and learning for the entire school community. Allison creates programs that integrate trauma-responsive approaches, mindfulness, and Social-Emotional learning.
