Thoughtful perspectives on neurodiversity

Communication breakdown: How visual supports ease executive overload

Why do visual supports work when words fail? In this Neurodivergent Pulse episode, speech pathologist Jenn Winstone and behaviour support practitioner Jess Shahbazi explain executive functioning overload as a capacity issue, not a behaviour problem. They share how visuals create "anchors for emotional security" that help neurodivergent children understand, transition, and thrive. Includes practical strategies and a moving hospital story.
