Growing Up Neurodiverse: What young adults want you to know

Neurodiverse young adults share what they needed, what they received and how we can all do better as parents, educators and caregivers.

Part of the Learnfully Parent Education Series:

While "neurodiversity" has become the new buzzword, the best ways to support our neurodiverse learners are not quite as abundant.

We sit down with two neurodiverse young adults, including one of their parents, for a candid discussion on the positives and negatives of their school years. Our panelists will discuss what supports they had, what supports they needed and, looking back, what would have helped them most.

Panelists:

Giulia Travostino is an education specialist with Learnfully who specializes in executive functioning and social-emotional learning. She has a background in creative writing and political advocacy, and much of her previous research in education is centered around ADHD and disability activism. She was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 11, and has since been informing others on what ADHD is, how it can impact someone's life, and how to learn alongside it.

Dr. Sheila Murphy went into education specifically to advocate and address gaps in the system that failed her own three sons. With a Doctorate Degree in Educational Leadership, a Master’s Degree in Education, a Master’s Degree in Supervision and Administration and as a Certified Life Coach, Sheila has focused her life’s work on supporting and advocating for neurodiverse learners, educators and families. Her son, Jared Brewer will joins the panel for a unique look at the parent and young adult perspective.
