Most schools and many teachers do not properly understand the challenges and complexities in supporting children with additional needs. In this episode, Cliff and his daughter Eva talk about how systems within schools can inadvertently cause issues for children who are neurodiverse. They also discuss the lack of trust in many mainstream schools and the impact this has on the emotional wellbeing of students. Episode Reveals • The differences Eva found in mainstream -vs- private schools in accommodating her needs • How building a foundation of trust can aid in all students to feel at ease in school • The difference between mindfulness and mental health and why schools need to recognise this • Why respect goes both ways between teachers and students; students do not respect teachers if they are treated poorly BEST MOMENTS “ It certainly doesn't feel like a place that makes you feel welcome. Is this part of why you don't feel comfortable going to this school?” “ I've heard that term way too much, mental health used by the wrong people. Wrong people, meaning teachers. They use that word too much, some words are overused with teachers like mental health and mindfulness. They're used in the wrong way.” “ We're all being treated the same, in the mainstream school, we're all wearing the same uniform. We're all being told to have the same. Well, how it feels is we're all being told to have the same sort of personality.” HOST BIO Cliff Kilmister is a dedicated parent, advocate, and cat whisperer with firsthand experience raising a child with autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Having navigated the challenges of school refusal, meltdowns, and sensory sensitivities, Cliff brings an empathetic, real-world perspective to the podcast. When he's not helping his child thrive, he’s dodging the evil stares of his three cats, who are plotting to take over the world (fortunately, they still haven’t figured out how to use the tin opener). Cliff offers practical advice, expert insights, and personal stories to help families facing similar struggles. Cliff’s daughter will be a regular guest, sharing her experiences and strategies that work for her. And joining him in this journey is his wife, Annie, who will also contribute to the podcast with her unique perspective and support. Cliff is focused on connecting with professionals and networks to raise awareness about the growing need for the education system to adapt to the increasing neurodiverse population.
