THE AUTISM ADHD PODCAST

Thanks for joining me today! In this episode, I identify 14 must-know areas of self-advocacy, provide examples and strategies on how to teach them. Why is this important? Lots of reasons. Self-advocacy can not only help support a child's needs but also their mental health and independence.

Join Brendan Mahan and I as we chat about how each time failure occurs emotions can build. Shame, guilt and disappointment can lead to more and more bricks in each child's walls. The Wall of Awful is the emotional barrier that prevents neurodivergent kids from initiating tasks and taking the risks necessary to reach their goals. We talk in detail about how these walls are built and the strategies to help get over them, around them or through them!  I'm hopeful that this episode will help bring even more understanding and support for the mental health of neurodivergent children and teens.  ❤️ Holly- The Mom/Psychologist Who Gets It Holly's ONE STOP RESOURCE - Social skills guide, Behavior Guide, and MORE!
