Our episode today starts with that call from school every parent dreads…

Jessica talks with mom and education advocate Tricia McGhee after a classroom discipline incident forces a bigger conversation about neurodivergent kids and school systems that just aren’t built to flex. 

In this episode, we’re also looking at what happens when getting a diagnosis doesn’t lead to help or services — and why collaboration  with schools matters just as much as understanding our own kids.
