Belonging in education, neurodivergent students, and trauma-informed teaching with Beven Byrnes, Executive Director of Bridges Middle School in Portland. What happens when a kid who never fit in finally finds their people? For Beven Byrnes, the answer changed everything. When her oldest child (neurodiverse and trans )discovered Portland's roller derby community, she watched them come alive in a way school had never made possible. That moment sent her back into education with one mission: build places where belonging comes first. Here's the hard truth about traditional schools: they run on test scores, numbers, and budgets and relationships get squeezed out. When kids don't feel safe to explore, they don't experiment and grow. They shut down, get shamed, or disappear. That's not a kid problem. That's a design problem. For 14 years at Bridges Middle School, Beven has been building the alternative: education that's individualized, relationship-based, and trauma-informed. A place where mistakes are part of learning, sensory needs are honored, and students get the scaffolding to grow at their own pace. Because when kids feel like they belong, they take healthy risks , and that's when the transformation happens. If this episode speaks to you, subscribe to Kainos Joy for more conversations for parents and educators of kids who learn differently. And share it with someone who needs to hear that their kid isn't broken the system just wasn't built for them , YET!! But look to new horizons on the way! #Neurodivergent #SpecialEducation #InclusiveEducation #TraumaInformed #AutismAcceptance #ADHD #ParentingNeurodivergentKids #BelongingMatters #KainosJoyPodcast

Why is it always the neurodivergent person's job to blend in? That's the question at the heart ❤️ of this episode. Anissa Zucker welcomes Beven Brynes to the Kainos Joy Podcast for an honest conversation about workplace culture and why the responsibility for adapting has landed on neurodivergent shoulders for far too long. Spoiler: the answer isn't more masking It's neurotypical colleagues learning, listening, and doing some adapting of their own. (Yes, that means you might have to change too. We believe in you.) Together, Anissa and Beven dig into: ✅ The hidden toll of masking on neurodivergent employees ✅ Why traditional "inclusion" efforts often miss the mark ✅ Simple shifts neurotypical coworkers and managers can make today ✅ What neurodivergent culture brings to a team when it's welcomed, not hidden ✅ How shared responsibility creates workplaces where everyone thrives If you've ever felt like work requires a performance , or you've wondered how to be a better colleague to someone whose brain works differently ; press play!! ⏰ This one's for both sides of the desk… ️ Subscribe to the Kainos Joy Podcast — Neurodiversity Initiative Watch every week: https://youtube.com/@KainosJoyPodcast #KainosJoyPodcast #NeurodiversityInitiative #NeurodiversityAtWork #Masking #ADHD #Autism #NeurodivergentVoices #InclusiveWorkplace #BevenBrynes #WorkplaceCulture #Unmasking #EveryMindMatters #NeurodiversityPodcast Some real gems and people I consider “experts” in the field as well as creative genius & true inspirational neurodiversity advocates—- right here ☺️⬇️ ⬇️ @ADHD_Chatter_Podcast @HowtoADHD high school teacher jeff brown @jeffbrownsclassroom @adhdvision @ADHD_love @AuDHDHub
