WHAT WE MISUNDERSTAND ABOUT NEURODIVERGENT LEARNERS
WITH GUEST DR. ANN SPENCER
Have you ever heard a word meant as encouragement somehow land like an accusation?
Capable can be one of those words.
For students with learning differences, being called “capable” often comes with a darker inference: why aren’t you living up to your potential?
Dr. Ann Spencer has built her career working with neurodivergent students and young adults to help them navigate expectations and unlock the power of their unique brains.
This is a deeply personal conversation about ADHD, slow processing, anxious learners, and what changes when we stop mistaking struggle for laziness or lack of effort.
This week’s song...
celebrates all the beautiful brains that work in their own original way and help keep this world more unexpected and joyful.
