  • Informative, encouraging and inspiring

    Vaish’s podcast fills a big void in the parenting folks with disability space- a space that is neither trying to “fix” the kid, nor peddling in sappy acceptance but one that is focusing on helping kids learn and thrive by presuming competence and experimenting with novel learning methods. I feel supported as a parent, and inspired as a teacher by this podcast. Do give it a listen.

  • Informative, loving content that resonates with people

    I love listening to Dr. Vaish’s content which is thoughtful, thorough and absolutely amazing. Each session is well conceived and detailed and helps families of kids with neurodifferences, and people with neurodifferences understand how to learn, grow and be happy. So refreshing and beautiful.
