Play as a Human Right Series, Part 4: Play Throughout the Lifespan
Listen now
Description
Whilst we focus a lot on play for our children, the focus often shifts as they grow into adolescents and then into adulthood. This episode dives into play and its importance all throughout our lives, what it might look like and how it differs between neurotypical and neurodiverse people, how we can support our adolescents and young adults in refocusing on play when our culture has such a strong focus on productivity instead, getting into our flow state and allowing creativity and how this benefits learning, growth, health and wellbeing. This is the final episode in our "Play as a Human Right" series; we hope you have enjoyed it and gained some insights as we have! . 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?
