~143~“Access Over Grit: Redesigning Learning for Neuro‑Diverse Teens” with Richard Comeau

#NeurodiversityEducation #ADHDLearning Teenagers with ADHD, executive‑function challenges, or other invisible learning differences often hear the same advice: “Just work harder, develop more grit, change your mindset.” In this eye‑opening episode, Cheryl talks to Richard Comeau about why that formula misses the mark—and how we can actually unlock a teen’s ability to learn. Richard explains how the traditional classroom creates a “threat space” that drives students into shutdown, while a “play space” (think video‑game feedback loops) fuels engagement, sense‑making, and confidence. He shares concrete strategies—turning dense lecture slides into real‑world stories, using AI‑driven simulations, and asking three essential questions to give teens the access they need. If you’re a parent of a teenager who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or labeled “lazy,” this episode will give you a new framework and actionable tools to help your child thrive. “There’s nothing wrong with your kid. The system is simply not built for how their brain learns.” – Richard Comeau
