Episode Description

When the Neurodiversity Show was cancelled this year, Dr Martin Bloomfield wanted to pay tribute to Arran Smith's original concept, while keeping part of the conversation alive by bringing together some of the speakers, with the support of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, and created this one-off online event: The Neurodiversity Empowered 2025. 

The first of a series of talks from the said event is a keynote speaker Toni Horn. Toni shares valuable strategies for supporting neurodivergent children, focusing on topics like social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH), emotional regulation, online engagement, and managing anxiety in neurodivergent children. She provides practical advice on fostering a growth mindset, supporting sleep, and utilizing multi-sensory approaches to aid children with dyslexia and ADHD. The episode emphasizes the importance of role models and clear communication within families, making it an essential listen for parents and educators of neurodivergent children. Stay tuned for the rest of the speakers.
