In this episode, I sit down with a behavior and learning specialist and former teacher, Danielle from Steam Made Simple, who brings a wealth of experience and a powerful personal story to the conversation. Together, we explore the importance of intentional neurodivergent practices—what they look like, why they matter, and how they can transform the lives of students at home and in the classroom.

We’ll discuss:

Her journey from classroom teaching to becoming an advocate for neurodiversity.
Practical strategies to create supportive environments for neurodivergent learners.
The role of empathy, flexibility, and strength-based approaches in fostering student success.
How parents and educators can collaborate to build neuro-affirming systems that empower all learners.
