Can changing a few words in an IEP change a child’s future? Speech Dude Chris Wenger shares how to reframe support plans to empower neurodivergent kids instead of pushing them to mask.

What to expect in this episode:

- How to replace deficit language with strength-based reframes
- Why connection and regulation need to come before learning
- How co-creating goals with kids leads to better outcomes
