Neurodivergent people are key players in developing innovative solutions for a much better world. However, society often neglects, diminishes, or outright discards them. What must be done to support them in the most meaningful ways? Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Dr. Matt Zakreski, who specializes in working with neurodivergent individuals. He explains how to employ meta communication when creating connections with them, the right way to revamp the education system in their favor, and how parents can fully support their interests.
