Our intention is to provide a platform for open and respectful discussions, where guests are encouraged to express their unique views. We do not expect or require our guests to align with the host's personal opinions.At the same time, we believe in the importance of using our platform to support human rights and promote inclusivity. While we may address social issues, it's essential to remember that our guests may have differing viewpoints, and their presence on the podcast does not imply endorsement of any specific ideology.We encourage open dialogue and respect for differing opinions. Your engagement and feedback are welcomed and appreciated. Our goal is to foster understanding and create a community that values neurodiversity and supports the rights and dignity of all individuals.Thank you for being a part of our journey towards creating a more inclusive and affirming world for neurodivergent families and beyond.---Promoting human rights is essential for neurodiversity advocates for several reasons:Inclusivity and Respect: Human rights are based on the principle that every individual is entitled to fundamental rights and freedoms, regardless of their background, abilities, or neurodiversity. By advocating for human rights, neurodiversity advocates promote inclusivity and respect for all, ensuring that no one is discriminated against or excluded based on their neurological differences.Equal Opportunities: Human rights ensure that everyone has equal opportunities and access to education, employment, healthcare, and other essential aspects of life. Neurodiversity advocates strive to create a world where neurodivergent individuals have the same chances as their neurotypical peers to succeed and thrive in all areas of life.Autonomy and Self-Determination: Human rights empower individuals to make decisions about their own lives, including their healthcare, education, and living arrangements. For neurodivergent individuals, the ability to exercise autonomy is critical, as it allows them to make choices that align with their unique needs and preferences.Dignity and Acceptance:Advocating for human rights is a way of upholding the inherent dignity of all individuals. Neurodiversity advocates seek to break down stereotypes and misconceptions about neurodivergent individuals and promote acceptance, celebrating the strengths and contributions that come with neurodiversity.Protection from Discrimination: Human rights principles protect individuals from discrimination, including discrimination based on neurodiversity. This is crucial in ensuring that neurodivergent individuals have fair treatment and opportunities, whether in the workplace, educational settings, or society at large.Legal Framework: Human rights provide a legal framework to address violations and protect the rights of individuals. This framework can be used to advocate for changes in laws and policies that affect neurodivergent individuals, ensuring they receive the support and accommodations they need.Education and Awareness: By aligning with human rights principles, neurodiversity advocates help educate society about the rights of neurodivergent individuals. This increased awareness can lead to more inclusive and supportive communities, schools, and workplaces.Summary: Supporting human rights is crucial for neurodiversity advocates as it aligns with the core principles of inclusivity, equality, dignity, and respect for all individuals, regardless of their neurological differences. It ensures that neurodivergent individuals have the same opportunities and protections as anyone else, contributing to a more just and equitable world for all.What can you do?https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/take-action/#act-nowhttps://freerice.com/homehttps://donate.doctorswithoutborders.org/https://www.unicefusa.org/----Remember, every human is unique, and the strategies that work best for one human may differ for another.

    Episode 4: Structured Literacy | Reading Specialist: Elisabeth Forde M.Ed. | @dearreadingteacher

    Structured literacy is an evidence-based approach to teaching reading and writing that breaks down language into its smallest components. This method focuses on phonology, phonics, syntax, semantics, and morphology – all essential elements for strong reading and writing skills.

    For this special episode we are not alone! I was a guest on her podcast and now she's doing me a huge favor by joining me on episode 4!

    Who is she? I'm proud to call her my instagram friend, Elizabeth Forde M.Ed.

    She's a strong, inspiring, and wonderful single Mom, currently flexi-schooling her daughter, a teacher, a tutor, podcaster, and a passionate advocate for Science of Reading and Structured Literacy for Parents!

    You can follow her on Facebook on Instagram @readinggardenclub where she currently has a simple 5 minute a day reading challenge. You can also subscribe and listen to her podcast at the #DearReadingTeacher, where she had a great line up of other passionate people to talk about all things literacy!

    BONUS! October - Dyslexia Awareness Month

    BONUS EPISODE! : October - Dyslexia Awareness Month


    This episode is about the reflection of a year ago that the host, The Neuroaffirming Parent, got FREE dyslexia training resources from Nessy Learning, Cox Campus, and Made by Dyslexia! This episode is out of gratitude for these companies and organizations for raising awareness and sharing information to help dyslexic students and parents better advocate for better opportunities, accomodations, and modifications while navigating the neurotypical centric education world that still doesn't fully understand neurodiversity or the neurotype of dyslexia.

    The host is apart of the 80% of adults that go their entire education career without being screened or properly identified as dyslexic. It's important for families to understand that Dyslexia is hereditary. It's important for teachers and educators to understand that in the USA 1 in 5 students are dyslexic. Internationally 1 in 10 people are dyslexic.

    This is a very common, neurobiological in origin, neurotype that affects reading, which is the foundation for better communication and education for all individuals.

    Please enjoy this very special BONUS episode!
