What May Be Keeping You From Meeting Them Where They're at with Debbie

If you’ve heard the phrase, “You need to meet them where they’re at,” you may be wondering what it really means and why it’s so important when you’re parenting and mentoring neurodivergent young people.

When neurodivergents have developmental challenges and their own unique timelines outside the bell curve of their neurotypical peers, meeting them where they’re at and not where we think they should be or where we would like them to be is how we help them grow.

Understanding this and doing it consistently are two different things.

What You'll Learn from this Episode:

• What gets in the way of your ability to meet your autistic and/or neurodivergent where they’re at.
• What it looks like to really meet them where they’re at in their developmental stage.
• Why it’s so important for long-term growth.
• How to “meet them” effectively.
• What questions to ask yourself.
