This is a pivotal episode. Lou dreamed it may happen one day and all her dreams came true!
Mona and Lou discuss the fundamental messages of Mona's book, Beyond Behaviours, they delve in to COVID induced trauma, school "push out", Mona's thoughts on ODD, PDA, behaviour charts and behaviour management strategies and the importance of respecting the Sensory Systems and mind-shift away from compliance and towards connections and compassion for neurodivergent children. They explore the return to school post COVID lockdown, single parenting and most importantly, the experiences of our most vulnerable and disadvantaged students and the exclusionary practices they endure. Mona offers compassion, kindness and also an assertive call to action for the Education System of Australia. Enjoy this uplifting discussion.
