Understanding the Impact of School on the Emotions of Neurodiverse Pupils
...with Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou and Dr Myrto Kakoulidou.
How do neurodiverse individuals experience emotions? Is it different to neurotypical people? If not then should schools be relying on interventions based on neurotypical (adult) experiences? The team at RE-STAR (Regulating Emotions - Strengthening Adolescent Resilience) are part way through a huge 4 year project to understand emotional experiences of young neurodiverse people with Autism and Attention Deficit Hyper activity disorder or ADHD In this episode Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou and Dr Myrto Kakoulidou talk about their work on understanding emotional experiences of young people with Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD and how schools (in particular) could better understand and support these young people with their emotions and we get a sneak peek at some of the results!
