#18 'Breaking Barriers: Why Inclusion Feels So Hard for Our Kids
About this episode
In this episode, we dive into the challenges of inclusion and why it feels so hard for our kids. We explore key factors that influence inclusion, like staff expertise, educators’ understanding of each child, and how well strategies are communicated across the school. It all comes down to the right strategies—how consistent they are, how flexible the environment is, and the importance of praising differences. For neurodivergent children, inclusion often gets lost when the system tries to fit everyone into the same mold. Join us as we unpack the factors that can make or break a child's sense of belonging in school.
