Special Needs & Self-Regulation - Ashley Becker-Nunley [306]

For most of the country, school is back in session. While some kids seem to have fallen back into the rhythm of things, others seem to be struggling, bringing to light learning or social challenges they may be struggling with. In this episode, Hunter has a conversation with Ashley Becker-Nunley, occupational therapist and parent coach, about how to set your child up for success by using a detective lens to investigate special needs and tapping into your child’s learning style.
