    SO needed - from a parent
    If you are a parent and are looking to be educated about your child's mental health, this is the podcast. I have been listening to this podcast since its launch; I was so lucky to find it! The topics covered here I can't seem to find anywhere else. I enjoy hearing Dr. Karen's thought leadership and expert advice, and the experts she brings in from ChildNexus are a great bonus.

    Such an important topic
    Thank you Karen for teaching and supporting parents and the community understand such an important topic. I worked in education for years and I know that schools systems don’t offer the level of knowledge and support needed to truly educate kids with learn in different ways. Your insights are so valuable and appreciated.

    New York Parent
    Thank you for this podcast. I am the parent of a child who was just diagnosed with ADD, Dysgraphia, low executive functioning, high anxiety and extreme high IQ. Because he was diagnosed with CP when he was 5 the school always associated the learning issues he had with CP. He recently took a neuropsychological exam and we discovered everything mentioned above. I realized something was very off because we were working with him one on one. We decided to homeschool this year because of covid. I instantly panicked and blamed myself for not noticing these issues before. James is currently in the 6th grade. Now I know he can get the help he needs and all those terms mentioned above don’t seem so frightening. Your podcast are so easy to comprehend and really puts things into a manageable understanding of how to break things down so james can get the appropriate help. I wish some of the Doctors you host had centers in New York City. Can you make any recommendations?

    Parents of students with learning disabilities and ADHD will set so much out of this podcast!
    I first became familiar with Karen Wilson’s work a few years ago. I quickly learned how smart she is and how good she is at explaining things in a non-technical, reassuring way. I have worked in the learning disabilities field for a long time and find parents often have questions about the assessment process, including whether or not they should put their child through it or what they should expect from it. Dr. Wilson explore the possibilities and will leave the listener with a sense of direction and hopefulness. This is a great addition to the world of podcasts for families!

    Valuable Resource for Parents
    Dr. Karen is an incredible resource for parents. She breaks down the barriers that many kids face with learning in a way that helps you truly understand the root cause. As a mother who has been teaching her child at home since March, I learned so many valuable insights and actionable tips. If you are a parent whose child is struggling this podcast provides so much support. Highly recommend.

    Soooo much useful information for parents, teachers and doctors
    I’m so thrilled that Dr. Wilson has launched this podcast. As a parent of a child with learning challenges (but appears “normal”), this information is SO valuable and freeing. The episodes are densely packed with valuable information. I cannot wait for additional episodes and will definitely share with friends and colleagues.
