In this episode of NeuroFM, Jeremy sits down with his son Johnathan for an honest, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about the power of accommodations. Through the lens of Johnathan’s experiences in both hockey and theater, they unpack what it means to be supported in ways that don’t erase differences but actually empower strengths. From the ice rink to the stage, Johnathan shares how thoughtful adjustments—whether it’s a coach breaking down a drill in smaller steps or a director allowing extra time to rehearse—don’t just make participation possible, they make growth and confidence flourish.
Together, Jeremy and Johnathan show how accommodations aren’t about “special treatment,” but about leveling the playing field so every kid can thrive. Their back-and-forth is filled with insight, humor, and heartfelt stories that highlight how small, intentional changes can transform challenges into opportunities. Whether you’re a parent, educator, coach, or simply curious about what true inclusion looks like, this episode offers a hopeful and practical reminder: when we make room for differences, we create space for everyone’s potential to shine.
