 What does it really mean to be neurodiversity-affirming? Breea Rosas, licensed educational psychologist and founder of the Neurodiversity Affirming School Psychologist Group, joins Wendy Taylor to unpack how schools, families, and IEP teams can shift from a deficit-based lens to an affirming, strength-centered approach. From actionable language swaps to rethinking token boards and goal-writing, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to do better—for real.

Top 3 Takeaways:
  1. Language is the First Shift: Changing “non-compliant” to “self-directed” transforms perceptions—and outcomes.
  2. Parent Power is Real: Input statements and pre-meeting advocacy can reframe the entire IEP experience.
  3. Affirming ≠ Ignoring Needs: Reframing challenges as “support needs” aligns goals with neurotype, not pathology.
