Speak to expertFrom a very early age, Kyrylo has been learning and developing using the MIKKO educational system by UNOWA. The way he openly asks questions and holds a conversation at such a high level is the best proof of the amazing results a child can achieve with regular practice and the right, supportive approach.
Our guest is Dr. Elizabeth Joy Shaffer, an occupational therapist with over 20 years of global experience and a mother of two neurodivergent children.
In this video, we discuss:
🔹 What is autism in simple words?
🔹 How can adults and teachers better understand autistic children?
🔹 Simple yet effective self-regulation techniques for stress and sensory overload (Dr. Shaffer demonstrates them right in the video!).
🔹 Why is inclusive education beneficial for ALL children?
Watch until the end to hear Dr. Shaffer's most important and touching advice for parents. And please support Kyrylo by giving this video a thumbs up—he did a tremendous job! ❤️
