The content appears to be an informational/conversational segment focused on education and neurodiversity.

Chapters

How do we, we as in Vida and I, provide that kind of support that needs to be provided? Because again, the school districts just don't have it. Teachers aren't taught it in college, all of these things. Well, funny you should ask. We have so many ways that we teach this stuff. So many ways. I actually was recently at Disney World and I spent my evening talking to a school teacher. She's like, I can't do that in classroom. Well, why can't you do that in the classroom? Well, because I can't. have accommodations for just one child in my classroom. I'm like, whoa, let's, let's rephrase this. All kids need accommodations.
You absolutely can have accommodations for one child in your classroom. It's called an IEP.
Yeah. Or a 504 plan. So there were a group of us that were all by ourselves at Disney World as single people there on solo trips. And 3 out of the 4 of us in this group wanted to slap her because the other 3 of us were neurodiverse.
