  • Summary

  • Whether you’re talking about ADHD, Autism, or 2e, developing neurodivergent brains in kids require adults to understand what it takes to get activated. The ADHD brain, for example, is understimulated. It doesn’t respond to rewards the same way as neurotypical brains. And it has a complicated relationship with motivation. So how can you help kids with ADHD (and other kinds of neurodiversity) to get essential stuff done? One key motivational tool is novelty. Join us to understand better why ADHD brains thrive on novelty, how novelty and motivation are tied together, and how you as a parent or a professional can integrate novelty when supporting your kids (of any age!). And remember: this fundamental hack can serve you well with all members of your family and community. Emily Kircher-Morris, M.A., M.Ed., LPC, is a former educator, author, and speaker. Inspired by her own experiences as a neurodivergent person, she is dedicated to destigmatizing neurodiversity and supporting neurodivergent people of all ages. She hosts The Neurodiversity Podcast, which explores the psychological, educational, and social needs of neurodivergent people, and is the author of several books, including "Teaching Twice-Exceptional Learners in Today's Classroom"(Free Spirit Publishing, 2021), "Raising Twice-Exceptional Children" (Taylor & Francis, 2022), "A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children" (Gifted Unlimited, LLC, 2023), and "Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools" (Free Spirit Publishing, in press). She speaks at statewide, national, and international conferences and is in private practice in Missouri. Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Emily Kircher-Morris. Here is what to expect on this week’s show: Emily highlights the importance of incorporating novelty in educational settings to engage neurodivergent individuals effectively. Tailored strategies and support, like universal design for learning, are crucial in catering to the specific needs of neurodivergent students and those facing situational neurodiversity challenges. Emily stresses the importance of validating parents' efforts in supporting their neurodivergent kids, acknowledging the learning journey both for the child and the parent in understanding themselves and their unique needs.
