As we start to get ready for back to school Clare meets a parent who's calling for a complete overhaul of how we treat neurodiversity as the current model isn't serving the teachers or the children. Michelle says her 9 year old said he didn't want to live as school caused so much anxiety and stress, she and educational psychologist Pauline Cogan will talk about how overwhelmed teachers and support assistants need to retrain to spot signs earlier and teaching methods will have to change to accommodate the now more diagnosed neurodiversity in each classroom.
And Andrew Dunne is a healthcare professional who with this team help patients fight Arthritis, Atrial Fibrillation, Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer, Parkinson’s Disease and other conditions by prescribing exercise, not more pills.
