Rebecca Challoner - ADHD Brains Aren't Broken!

Andy Fithall Season 1 Episode 16

Rebecca Challoner from My Spirited Child is an award winning ADHD advocate, who is on a mission to create information, strategies and support for neurodivergent children, to improve their education, self worth, and quality of life in general, including family life and social settings.

Australia has a comparatively low diagnosis rate compared to other western countries, and is lacking the support mechanisms needed in the school system, to adequately provide an environment that helps kids with ADHD and Autism learn like their non divergent counterparts.

This means we are leaving them behind, not because they lack in intelligence, but because we don't teach the way they learn.

My Spirited Child has grown from a simple blog, which told her own story of parenting a child with neurodivergence, to her own diagnosis, to Australia wide conferences with thousands of people attending at a time.

Rebecca is determined to show the world that people with ADHD don't need fixing, they just need a bit of help, and in return, we will all benefit from the amazing thinking and ideas that a neurodivergent brain can deliver.
