Hi, I’m Lauren Edmunds, and welcome to the Lauren Edmunds Podcast.
In each episode, we dive deep into the world of education and parenting, with a special focus on primary school children with remedial and special needs. Drawing on over 12 years of hands-on experience running Omatas Learning Centre, a special needs school in Johannesburg, along with decades of academic research, I aim to provide valuable insights and practical advice.
I’m excited to share my knowledge with you and hope you find the discussions both informative and inspiring.
Enjoy the show!

Switched-On Brains: Helping Children Find Their Own Drive
In this episode, Lauren Edmunds, founder of a school for children with learning delays, shares her thoughts on what it really means for a child to have a “switched-on” brain.
Through the story of a 10-year-old non-verbal boy on the autism spectrum, she shows how powerful things can happen when children feel safe, supported, and have their own reasons to grow.
Whether your child is in mainstream education or a more specialised setting, this talk invites parents and educators to reflect on how we can help children build motivation from the inside out.
