In this episode Veronica Green, an early childhood consultant and mother to a neurodivergent child, shares her journey from becoming an ECE in 2012 to founding Cultivating Confidence, an early years consultancy focused on creating inclusive environments where children and educators thrive. Through her personal experiences raising an autistic son and running a day home, Veronica unpacks the importance of understanding sensory processing and its impact on children’s behaviour. She explains the eight senses, including proprioceptive, vestibular, and interoceptive senses, and how they influence children’s interactions with their environment. She shares practical advice for educators on setting up classrooms to accommodate sensory needs and emphasises the significance of a supportive mindset when working with both children and parents. Veronica also offers tips on balancing the diverse sensory requirements of all students in a classroom. This episode is a rich resource for educators and parents seeking to better support neurodivergent children in their care.
