As part of Understood's "Be the Reason" stigma campaign, Nathan Friedman writes about the steps parents can take to help better understand and support neurodivergent children.

As we celebrate International Day of Education, let’s remember that everyone has the right to education.

In the world of education, the last 18 months required a combination of remote and hybrid learning that created unprecedented challenges for teachers.

More than a year into the pandemic, many families have faced challenges —from difficulties with distance learning to unemployment or financial instability, yet results from Understood’s new “Pandemic Learning Impact Study” highlight a stark difference between the experiences of neurotypical families compared to those whose children learn and think differently, like dyslexia and ADHD.

How can we help kids “bounce back” after the pandemic? What can we do to make up for losses in learning, socialization, and growth? How might the one in five children in the U.S. who learn and think differently be affected?
