Podcast 63 How to Make School Feel Safe: 3 Things Every Parent Needs to Know
Description
How Can We Make School Feel Safe?
Safety is the number one concern for families of neurodivergent children — and it goes far beyond locked gates and supervision.
In this episode of Navigating Neurodiverse Education, Ruth Smoker-Cornell explores what real school safety looks like and what parents need to notice when choosing or reviewing a school.
This episode unpacks:
• how schools handle bullying in real life
• what emotional regulation support actually looks like
• why sensory safety matters
• what happens during transitions, playground time, and unstructured moments
If you’re asking, “Will my child be safe being themselves at school?” — this episode is for you.
Because safety isn’t an add-on.
It’s the foundation for learning.
