Description: Tired of ADHD strategies that don’t work? Here’s what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___Steph West is the creator and director of Starfish Social Club, which teaches neurodivergent kids and teens how to make friends without masking or conforming. She's on a mission to change the way we teach social skills, as well as the way we raise our neurodivergent kids in general.Steph was formally diagnosed with ADHD in 2021, which has made her even more committed to her students and helps them relate to her on a very personal level. Her goal with her work is never to teach autistic and ADHD students how to conform to neurotypical society, rather, it's to help them develop dynamic social awareness and problem-solving skills to connect with their peers, while still preserving the traits that make them unique.Steph's ideology serves as a great reminder that we can all learn how to move through social interactions more easily without sacrificing our authenticity, and I'm so delighted to share her valuable perspective with you this episode.______________Resources:Website: www.StarfishSocialClub.orgFacebook: www.FB.com/StarfishSocialClubSATXPodcast: Social Skills UnscriptedSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, start with my free training: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD.
