Welcome to the early years conversations podcast with me Kerry Payne and Kate Moxley. A safe space conversations podcast for the early years sector where we discuss key topics and experiences. We want to amplify the voices within our sector and tackle some of the tricky aspects of our work with children and families. To note this podcast includes discussions around mental health, race, gender, sexuality, neurodiversity and adversity and of course all the joyous aspects too.

SEND Teachers who teach
This week, we were joined by Melissa, who is a trainee teacher and SEND advocate. We invited Melissa onto the podcast because she is so passionate about children's rights and she kindly shared her own experiences of ADHD and Dyslexia. The early years is not a homogenous group, and we thought it was important to highlight that we each come with our own identities, diversities, traits, differences and struggles. This episode gets us thinking about how we equip our children with a strong sense of identity when they have learning differences, and if we don't see children's strengths what implications does this have? We hope you enjoy!
