In this episode, we chat with Keryn, who is navigating the journey of raising children with ADHD, dyslexia and giftedness. Keryn shares their experiences with school accommodations, the challenges of helping her child accept support, and strategies they plan to implement for the upcoming school year.

The conversation also delves into the importance of finding the right therapy fit. Therapy is a broad field, and just because a professional is available doesn’t mean they are the best match for a child’s specific needs. Keryn emphasizes the value of strong relationships in both therapy and education, encouraging parents to trust their instincts, advocate clearly, and persist in seeking the right support.
