"If all of their energy is spent trying to stay still in a seat, it makes sense that they might not be able to use energy to listen." - Dr. Emily King


What does a neurodivergent learner actually need in order to learn? In this episode, host Emily Hamblin and Dr. Emily King break down the five foundational needs every neurodivergent child must have met before real learning can happen — and how parents and teachers can make it work in any setting.


In this episode you'll learn:

  1. The 5 needs of neurodivergent learners: sensory, relationship, pacing, interest, and strategy

  2. How to manage multiple learners with different needs

  3. The truth about motivation and how to use rewards without creating dependence
