ADHDUK podcast

We are joined by the tremendous Kelly Jarvis- ex-headteacher and head of consultancy at Sunshine Support, to discuss what her organisation calls school avoidance, and the rest of the system calls school refusal.
After this conversation, I'm with Kelly!
We also talk about the challenge of translating diagnosis to strategies, and what burn out is (and isn't)

Ash Ruddy, Chief Growth Officer for Neuly AI, discusses the AI companion app for parents of neurodivergent children.
Ash describes everything that goes into the system, and the saefguards built in, before we talk about sustainability, agreeableness, accountability and evaluation.
AI is a contentious topic, and we have tried to do it justice in this very specific application.
