In this insightful episode of Bright Conversations, host Shontaye Glover Jones welcomes Polina Shkadron, a trauma-certified Speech-Language Pathologist, to explore the power of play, relationships, and brain-based strategies in supporting neurodivergent children.

Polina brings over 15 years of experience working with children with communication challenges, autism, ADHD, feeding difficulties, and more. She breaks down complex ideas in a relatable way, offering practical tools that families and educators can use right away.

What you'll learn:

  • What ADHD means and how it may appear in your clients and students

  • What dysregulation actually looks like in real-world settings—and how it differs from “misbehavior”

  • Why traditional behavior strategies often fall short for neurodivergent children

  • How play supports brain development and encourages language, emotional regulation, and executive functioning

    • The importance of co-regulation—how adults can model and support calming strategies
    • How shifting from control to connection helps children feel seen, heard, and safe enough to learn and grow
    • What "dynamic, relationship-based" intervention really means and why it matters for long-term success
