Welcome to the Send Parenting Podcast.
00:00:09.154 --> 00:00:20.425
I'm your neurodiverse host, dr Olivia Kessel, and, more importantly, I'm mother to my wonderfully neurodivergent daughter, alexandra, who really inspired this podcast.
00:00:20.425 --> 00:00:36.737
As a veteran in navigating the world of neurodiversity in a UK education system, I've uncovered a wealth of misinformation, alongside many answers and solutions that were never taught to me in medical school or in any of the parenting handbooks.
00:00:36.737 --> 00:00:45.414
Each week on this podcast, I will be bringing the experts to your ears to empower you on your parenting crusade.
00:00:45.414 --> 00:00:49.469
The countdown is officially on.
00:00:49.469 --> 00:01:04.186
In just a few days, we will be kicking off the 100th episode celebration of the SEND Parenting Podcast, a week-long event packed with inspiration, connection and support for parents of neurodiverse children.
00:01:04.186 --> 00:01:08.474
This milestone of 100 episodes is not just about the podcast.
00:01:08.474 --> 00:01:14.233
It's about celebrating you and the incredible SEND community that we have built together.

00:01:50.861 --> 00:01:54.459
So I think all of us will walk away with actionable tips and strategies to hopefully make our lives a little bit smoother, a little bit easier.
