Every neurodivergent learner brings unique strengths — our job is to build systems that let them shine.

In this episode of The Whole Child Advocate, Dominique McLellan shares practical strategies for supporting children with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, sensory differences, executive functioning challenges, and other neurodivergent profiles at both home and school.

This episode explores:

• Why regulation comes before learning

• Common challenges families experience at home

• Practical supports like routines, visual tools, movement breaks, and predictability

• How parents and teachers can collaborate without blame

• What a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) does and how they can help create effective home plans

• Why planning ahead for summer can reduce stress and support success

Dominique also shares how Whole Child Advocacy is working strategically with a BCBA to help families create individualized home support plans.

💡 Key Takeaway: Neurodivergent learners do not need to be fixed. They need to be understood, supported, and given systems that help them thrive.
