Manage episode 485145657 series 1067311
If Jesus heart was disproportionately oriented towards anyone, it was consistently the most marginalised in society. And in today’s world, that can way too often mean those young people with neurodivergence and special educational needs. But if the gospel is for anyone, it’s for them!
That’s why we sat down with psychologist and experienced youth worker, Abz Adekeye, to discuss how to better engage the whole range of young people, and not just the majority. 👌
In this crucial conversation, we discuss…
✅ The meaning behind the terms ‘SEN/D’ and ’Neurodiversity’
✅ What’s behind the rise in the number of young people being diagnosed as neurodivergent
✅ The positives and problems associated with a “hyper-diagnostic age”
✅ Autism and the idea of “autism acceptance”
✅ Practical tips and resources for youth ministry
and loads more!
This is an incredibly stimulating and practically helpful conversation. You’ll need your notepads, and your thinking-caps, for this one! 😅
Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever else you listen.
Enjoy! 🎧
