015: How Strength-Based Education & Community Transforms the Lives of Neurodivergent and 2E Students with Sam Young

From Stuck to Started: Executive Function & ADHD Coaching to Take Action

I chatted with Sam Young, M.Ed, the Head of School at Young Scholars Academy, about what it means to be “twice-exceptional,” the challenges neurodivergent students face, and how community and leaning into strengths builds confidence and sets students up for success.

This is a great conversation for educators, parents, neurodivergent adults, and anyone who’s passionate about supporting unique learners.
