Epi. 200 Make Sense of Your Child's Neurodiversity | Melissa Jackson

The On-Call Empath

My next guest Melissa Jackson comes to this space from a place of empathy and compassion for our neurodiverse kids and their families. Growing up as an undiagnosed dyslexic child with ADHD, Melissa knows firsthand how painful school can be for kids who fall outside of the traditional box we call “normal”.

After spending years as a classroom teacher in both the special education and general education setting, Melissa transitioned to the role of parent advocate as she was given the opportunity to walk this path once again, this time from the lens of a mother. Melissa has her Certificate in Twice-Exceptional (2e) Education and is currently completing her MA in Cognitive Diversity in Education.

Melissa brings her personal journey and experiences as an educator, parent to a neurodivergent child, and neurodivergent individual herself to support others who are walking this same path of feeling unseen and misunderstood in the traditional classroom environment. TUNE IN~
