In the season finale episode of The Playful Psychologist podcast, I am joined by Educational & Developmental Psychologist, Sandhya Menon. Sandhya is the founder of Onwards and Upwards Psychology and has a huge passion for neuroaffirming practice in allied health. She is also the brilliant author of the most beautifully, neuroaffirming picture books for children. In this episode, Sandhya shares her insights into neuroaffirming practice. We will explore the following questions:

  • What is neuroaffirming practice?
  • How does this differ to types of therapeutic approaches we have seen in the past?
  • How does neuroaffirming practice change the way we view social skill development in autistic people?
  • What are the positive outcomes of neuroaffirming practice?
