In this 2-part special, returning guest Mica Jayne Coleman Jones, discusses celebrating neurodiversity and how we can move to the idea of neuroharmony.
In episode 2, Mica talks about her own son and her parenting experiences with him. She also discusses neurodiversity in school and how a one-size-fits-all approach isn't helpful when thinking about meeting individual needs.
Mica shares her personal experiences of autism and ADHD and she reflects on how to recognise potential triggers and suggests possible strategies to divert behaviours.
Mica is a senior trainer for Team Teach and director of The Happy Lighthouse, a training and consultancy company which is inspired by Lilya’s Lighthouses created in memory of her autistic sister who died following treatment for leukaemia in 2019. Mica’s previous roles include Specialist Provision Leader and Head of Autism Research and Development.
