Supporting neurodivergent children in learning, communication, and daily life requires more than just structure—it requires flexibility. In this episode of All Brains Grow, I sit down with Krystel Alhayek, a neurodiversity specialist and my teammate at All Brains Grow, to explore how adapting our approach can lead to real progress for children who think and learn differently.
We discuss: - Why flexibility is essential when working with neurodivergent kids - The balance between structure and adaptability in learning and behavior - How allowing stimming, choices, and natural learning leads to better outcomes - Why rigid expectations can hinder progress—and what to do instead
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to help a child fit into a system that doesn’t work, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover practical, science-backed strategies that help create an environment where growth happens naturally.
