Turn Obsessions into Wins: How to Help ND Kids Learn Through Their Passions

Is your child obsessed with trains, dinosaurs, Minecraft, or Pokémon? Great! Those passionate interests—often called “special interests”—can be powerful learning tools, especially for neurodivergent kids.

In this episode, we explore how to turn passions into progress by:
✅ Building literacy, numeracy & life skills through interests
✅ Making classroom learning more engaging (and less of a battle)
✅ Using special interests to support friendships, confidence, and emotional regulation
✅ Collaborating with teachers to include passions in IEP goals

Whether you're a parent or educator, this episode is packed with practical tips, real-life examples, and do's & don'ts to help your child thrive—on their terms.
