A world that asks them to sit still, learn in the same way as everyone else, and thrive in a system that too often ignores their unique strengths. Because of the way their brain is wired, school can feel overwhelming—for them and for you. But your child is not broken. They are amazing.Child psychologist and mom of two neurodivergent sons, Emily W. King, PhD, has spent twenty years listening to kids, parents, and teachers, and building bridges between them. In The Neurodivergent Learner, she combines cutting-edge neuroscience with real-life stories to show parents how to stop pushing their children into a mold—and instead help them flourish on their own path. With warmth, expertise, and a deep understanding of how kids actually learn, Dr. King gives families the confidence and tools to partner with educators, reduce stress at home, and nurture the whole child.Inside, you’ll discover:What’s really happening in your child’s brain when school feels “too much.”Why homework, testing, and traditional classrooms often miss the mark—and what to do instead.Practical strategies for working with teachers (not against them) to create learning environments where your child thrives.How to manage energy, anxiety, and overwhelm without sacrificing joy, curiosity, or confidence.Stories from kids themselves that reveal how empowering it feels to be understood.Tools to help your child embrace their uniqueness, find their allies, and redefine what success looks like—inside and outside the classroom.As Dr. King writes, "our children don’t need fixing—they need understanding, creativity, and collaboration." Whether your child is autistic, gifted, has ADHD, or simply learns differently, The Neurodivergent Learner is the essential guide to helping them find success in school and beyond.ABOUT THE SPEAKERSEMILY W.
