À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
What happens when learning shuts down - at school, at home, everywhere?
In Part One of this two-part conversation, I’m joined by educator and consultant Danielle Rodda to talk about why learning becomes unsafe for so many PDA and neurodivergent kids.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why compliance-based education doesn’t work for PDA nervous systems
- How school trauma and chronic pressure shut learning down
- Why “more supports” still aren’t enough
- The emotional weight parents carry when nothing seems to help
This episode is about context and permission - understanding that when learning stops, it’s not because you or your child are failing.
Note: This conversation continues in Part Two, where we shift into rebuilding safety around learning, unlearning harmful narratives, and what learning can look like once pressure is removed.
