What if the way we’ve always done school just isn’t working for a lot of kids?

Michael sits down with Sherri Divband, founder of Aramis Creative Learning Center, to talk about a different path for children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and other developmental differences. Her approach centers on helping kids feel safe, confident, and empowered through animal connection, project based learning, and health and wellness.

They explore how traditional education can leave kids behind, especially those who don’t fit the standard mold, and why anxiety in children has become such a growing concern. Sherri shares how her own daughter’s experience led her to question everything and ultimately build a new model that gives kids more choice, creativity, and real world connection in how they learn.

The conversation also touches on parenting unique children, the impact of COVID on kids’ social development, biofeedback and holistic healing, and why helping children understand themselves emotionally can change their entire future. Sherri also shares details about launching the first Aramis center in Palm Beach and how the community can support the mission through events and donations.
