Play as a Human Right Series, Part 2: Play as Connection
Listen now
Description
For our second episode in our Play as a Human Right series, we explore all the ways play serves as a catalyst for connection with our children. Sammy and Patricia go deep into co-regulation; what it is and why it's important. We give a brief overview of attachment play and how effective it can be in our homes. We round out the episode discussing the differences between neurodiverse and neurotypical play, meeting our children where they are at and how we can create more equity in social skill development and expectations. To dive deeper into the topic of attachment play, see Marion Rose, Shelley Clarke and Caroline Ellen. For individualised support in navigating neurodiversity within your homes, bringing back play and joy to each day, please reach out to Patricia and/or Sammy (contact details below). . Join Patricia Falcetta (Social Living Solutions) and Sammy Anne (Map the Maze) as they discuss Nurturing Neurodiversity; all the ways we can create a truly inclusive society. Our passion lies in supporting whole families to navigate the challenges and revel in the joys of their neurodiverse children. A big part of this support entails advocating for changes within our systems and society, to ensure our children grow up knowing and loving who they are. No matter our ability, race, gender, sexuality, beliefs – we all deserve to be loved and appreciated. We aim to educate, connect and inspire. We do this by sharing with you our stories, experiences and relevant research, along with neurodiverse voices through interviews and quotes with permission. We open dialogue on what we can all do to create positive social change. With backgrounds in the education and allied health industries, as well as experience working directly with families, we work within AND continually challenge the existing systems we all operate under. We wholeheartedly believe that if we can all open our minds and our hearts, share the message of love and equity for all, that we will be part of creating a truly inclusive world for generations to come. We hope you will join us on our journey. Want to share your story? Have a guest you’d love us to interview? Questions you’d like us to answer?
