In this episode we’re continuing our discussions on Neurodiversity, following on from our first neurodiversity-focused episode last March that discussed neuro-affirmative practices and autistic experiences.
In this podcast you’ll hear from Sarah McGillicuddy, an Educational Psychologist with the National Educational Psychological Service, Mary Scully, Services Coordinator with Dyslexia Ireland and Nicola Coss, National Service Development Manager with ADHD Ireland.
We’ll be discussing NEPS work with schools, parents and young people in the area of neurodiversity; the impacts of ADHD and Dyslexia on young people’s mental health, and what parents and guardians can do to support the young people in their lives.
