Episode Overview
Today, I'm sitting down with someone extra special—my youngest daughter, Kelly Richardson.
Kelly has spent over a decade in education, working her way from assistant head teacher to running her own Maths and English tuition centre.
We’re chatting about her experiences teaching children with ADHD and special educational needs in the UK school system, and how she’s navigated the challenges of supporting every child in her classroom.
We’ll talk about the gaps in teacher training when it comes to special needs education, and Kelly will share some practical tips for creating more inclusive learning environments.
Listen in for an honest, down-to-earth conversation that I’m sure will resonate with parents, teachers, and advocates alike!
