Diverse Thinking
Different Learning
A ChildNEXUS Podcast
Child neuropsychologist, Dr. Karen Wilson, shares information about learning differences and interviews experts who help children and adolescents with learning differences, neurodevelopmental disorders and social and emotional difficulties achieve their full potential.
Learning and thinking differences and emotional struggles (such as anxiety) keep children and adolescents from reaching their full potential. This show is designed to educate, inform, and share information so that parents and educators can be equipped with the knowledge and strategies they need to help students thrive.
