Neurolicious - by Mummel Road
Parenting is a tough gig—but parenting a child with additional needs brings unique challenges, emotions, and incredible moments of growth. Mummel Road is a space where personal experiences meet professional insights, creating a supportive and informative podcast for parents, caregivers, and those navigating the world of disability.
Hosted by Emily, a mother of three—one of whom has a disability—and a dedicated professional supporting families of children with additional needs. Plus her co host, Kylee, a paediatric occupational therapist who herself has a diagnosis of ADHD. This podcast blends real-life stories, expert knowledge, and meaningful conversations to empower and uplift listeners.
Whether you're searching for guidance, solidarity, or just a reminder that you're not alone, you'll find practical advice, heartfelt discussions, and strategies to navigate parenting with confidence and connection.
There’s something for everyone on Mummel Road—because the journey is easier when we travel it together.

The heart break that accompanies the phone call from your child's school
No parent wants to receive a call from their child's school informing them that they are not welcome in their classroom or in their school community. Unfortunately, these calls are not uncommon. Mostly, they are done with the safety and well being of all the students at the school in mind, which I completely understand. My quick hit today is simply a reminder for all carers, educators, and therapists to ensure that if they do need to call a child's parents, that they consider telling them one positive thing that occurred that day or even that week. I have been found crying at home by my husband after one of these calls and I understand the heartbreak that can follow these conversations. Please tread lightly with parents, please deliver news or reports with an anecdote of a positive thing that their child has done. Please be mindful that your words will remain with those parents for weeks or months to come.
Thanks on behalf of all parents who are raising children with additional needs.
