The Joy of Neurodiversity is where stories meet change. Each episode brings together neurodivergent voices, educators, and changemakers from around the world to reimagine how we understand difference. Through personal stories, practical tools, and bold conversations about inclusion and advocacy, we’re shifting the narrative from awareness to action. Because neurodiversity isn’t just something to include. It’s something to celebrate.

🎙️ Ep. 13 System vs. Students: They’re Not Broken... The System Is

💡 In This Episode

What if the problem isn’t our students — it’s the system designed to teach them?

In this powerful conversation, Joy Buckner and Sara Haboubi, founder of Jumpstarting Learning, unpack how traditional education still measures success by outdated rules and how tools like NLP and mental imagery can help every learner thrive. Together, they explore what it really means to “prepare the mind to learn” and how reimagining our classrooms could change everything.

You’ll hear:

Why the education system hasn’t evolved in centuries — and what needs to change
How stress and emotion block the brain’s ability to learn
The hidden power of mental imagery in memory and literacy
Why spelling tests and early screenings often miss neurodivergent learners
Sara’s Jumpstarting Learning method and how it helps rewire belief systems and build confidence
A reminder that when we plan for unique minds, everyone benefits
