<p>In this hard-hitting episode, Linda chats to lifelong passionate educator, ADHD expert and late diagnosed ADHD'er Simon Da Roza.</p>
<p> He tells the story of his own traumatic school experiences growing up in rural NSW and how after one particular horrible incident with a teacher, he decided he was not going to become an electrician after all but become the best darn teacher he could be. </p>
<p>He was true to his word and has dedicated his life to education, from teaching in the classroom to creating his neurodiversity-focused business 'Exceptional Learners'. He shares many brilliant insights into how to inspire and empower neuro-divergent students. Also how he helps parents and teachers to understand and provide learning environments which encourage students to thrive not just survive.</p>
<p> He also shares his passion for advocating for neuro-affirming change and improvement within a rigid educational system. And of course, we talk about his glimmers, the little things that bring him joy. It's an episode not to be missed!</p>
<p><br>Trigger warning- please be aware there is mention of historical abuse within a school setting.</p>
