When you thinking of students with learning differences we don't often take time to consider students who are demeaned to be Gifted. These students tend to fall under an umbrella of Special Education where assume they can be successful no matter where we 'place' them in schools.
Today on the show I talk with Emily Edwards, owner of The Good Birth Co.. Together we talk about what school was like for her. Though one often doesn't see the challenges they must over come, Emily talks openly about what she wishes teachers and peers saw. Her need to learn to lead, to not just be smart but be able to lead a group. She did find support in teachers who challenged her lead big and small things. These experiences shaped who she is today.
In our conversation Emily also opens up about one of children who struggled to begin speaking. Looking at learning challenges from a different side of things. As a mother she was not always ready for the outcome. She has gained strength from her knowledge and supports her child through this time.
