Every child deserves to feel seen, heard and valued. Yet for many disabled and neurodivergent children, the world often asks them to shrink, adapt or mask parts of who they are just to fit in.
This episode explores what it means to build confidence and resilience in disabled and neurodivergent children, and how other children can become thoughtful and self-assured allies and create environments where everyone belongs.
Seven News Presenter, Sarah Greenhalgh, is joined by Paralympian and World Record holder, Brenden Hall, Founder of Expand Your Library, Jenae Tien and Children’s Hospital Foundation family ambassador, Bec Reed, to discuss bridging the gap between awareness and allyship, and how families, schools and communities can help children living with disability and neurodivergence to thrive.
