Neurodivergent thinkers frequently bring new perspectives, innovative solutions, and artistic expression to the world, showcasing how diversity of thought enriches creativity. By celebrating neurodivergence and fostering environments that respect all minds, we can encourage a more inclusive and creative community. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/afterschool-programs monthly 0.5 2024-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1734696649527-M3ODKONNUJ6BHYFDPGYI/Afterschool+programs.jpg Blog - Afterschool Programs: Why We Need to Reimagine Them Now I notice a troubling pattern throughout my neighborhood and many others across the country. As the school bus pulls away, countless students quietly head home. For many, that’s where they’ll stay, isolated, until the next morning. Meanwhile, if I drive to a local school, I see a different story: students bustling about, engaged in sports afterschool programs, visibly enjoying the camaraderie and purpose that comes with being part of something larger than themselves. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/need-for-nonparental-adults monthly 0.5 2024-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1731391953087-P3UKHZUD9R8WDS52KVZW/Nonparental+Adults.jpg Blog - Okay, Boomer: The Need for Nonparental Adults Let's face it… Baby Boomer parents didn’t exactly embrace hands-on parenting. Many were self-absorbed, often content to let social structures pick up the slack, which left Generation X to fend for themselves. Most of us embraced this independence, becoming fiercely self-reliant and skeptical of social norms. Personally, I’m oppositional enough to roll my eyes every time a Boomer offers unsolicited parenting advice. My go-to response: “Okay, Boomer.” https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/impact-technology-learning-neurodiverse-students monthly 0.5 2024-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1730705715858-DBUME6I52J3095YLL4T5/The+Impact+of+Technology+on+Learning+for+Neurodiverse+Students.jpg Blog - The Impact of Technology on Learning for Neurodiverse Students As technology keeps evolving, its role in education, especially for neurodiverse students, has become increasingly significant. For these students, who might experience conditions like Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and other cognitive differences, technology can serve as both a tool for enhanced learning and a bridge to better communication and organization. However, it’s important to balance the benefits of technology with the need for other developmental activities. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/navigating-return-to-college-successful-routine monthly 0.5 2024-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1729493395473-RTGG829VFX0PA0A5N482/Navigating+the+Return+to+College.jpg Blog - Navigating the Return to College: Building Resilience and Routine for a Successful Semester As students across the country settle into their fall semester, the familiar pressures of college life begin to emerge. For many, the first major exams and papers of the term are looming, signaling the shift from the relatively relaxed pace of early weeks to the full momentum of academic rigor. With summer firmly in the rearview mirror, it’s time to establish a routine that not only sustains academic performance but also supports mental and physical well-being. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/evidence-based-reading-instruction monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1728928314620-SO0KPT8FA5B38BS7W4O7/Building+Strong+Readers.jpg Blog - Building Strong Readers: The Role of Evidence-Based Reading Instruction Millions of children in the United States struggle with reading, a foundational skill that impacts every aspect of their education and future success. Despite decades of science-based research on how children learn to read, many schools continue to ignore these findings. Instead, they invest in teacher training and curriculum materials rooted in outdated and disproven theories rather than focusing on evidence-based reading instruction. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/therapeutic-counseling-academic-success monthly 0.5 2024-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1728474371681-9X4WNSYMR8AZA40RLUR6/The+Role+of+Therapeutic+Counseling+in+Academic+Success.jpg Blog - The Role of Therapeutic Counseling in Academic Success: Bridging the Gap Between Mental Health and Education The connection between mental health and academic performance is increasingly recognized as critical in educational settings. Students face growing pressures both academically and personally, making the need for mental health support within schools more vital than ever. Therapeutic counseling serves as a bridge between mental health and education, helping students navigate challenges that can otherwise impede their academic success. This article explores how therapeutic interventions contribute to improved educational outcomes, with insights from studies of successful counseling interventions. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/importance-of-deadlines-in-education monthly 0.5 2024-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1727270749819-BS5FOOC2ZSEL2X7H5LKK/Importance+of+Deadlines+Is+Removing+Them+the+Right+Choice.jpg Blog - Importance of Deadlines: Is Removing Them the Right Choice? After reading Jessica Winter’s article in The New Yorker, I began reflecting on the importance of deadlines in both education and parenting. Much like how some professors have become too accommodating with students, many parents lower expectations in an attempt to reduce anxiety. But is this truly helpful? https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/autism-and-neurodiversity-podcast-with-josh-doyle-consulting monthly 0.5 2024-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1727182928070-5Y913QBUN9NNT7CIBRZW/Autism+%26+Neurodiversity+Podcast.jpg Blog - Autism and Neurodiversity Podcast: Why Traditional Therapeutic Approaches Are Failing OCD / Neurodivergents with Josh Doyle, M.ED In my recent appearance on the Autism & Neurodiverty podcast with Jason and Debbie Grygla, we delved into the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, particularly when traditional therapeutic approaches for OCD fall short. We discussed how these methods, while effective for some, can actually exacerbate issues for those with neurodiversity. The conversation highlighted the importance of tailoring treatment strategies to meet the unique needs of neurodivergent children, adolescents, and young adults, especially when it comes to their emotional and behavioral challenges. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/phone-ban-in-schools monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1726487884955-H03UGH64DTU5WBTDPP1M/Do+We+Need+a+Phone+Ban+in+Schools.jpg Blog - Do We Need a Phone Ban in Schools? Even before smartphones became a ubiquitous part of daily life, we were already seeing rising levels of anxiety among students. I remember vividly working at a boarding school in Northern New England on 9/11, which also happened to be the first day of classes. As the devastating news unfolded, we were able to support the students, providing them with accurate, real-time information. However, in today’s world, I can’t help but think how different the situation would have been. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/the-importance-of-showing-up-building-social-connections-in-a-post-pandemic-world monthly 0.5 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/bbb983de-3328-453c-b79d-27c8e81d14ea/Isolation+in+the+workforce.png Blog - The Importance of Showing Up: Building Social Connections in a Post-Pandemic World Before the pandemic, Generation Z was already spending more time in isolation and not building social connections. Much of their social interaction occurs online, and as a parent, I've observed this trend firsthand. It concerns me, especially as my oldest child recently graduated from college and began navigating the challenges of adult life in a new city. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/what-is-neurodiversity monthly 0.5 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1725365904674-SABLM0MPBMZX2R88UIYR/What+is+neurodiversity.jpg Blog - What is Neurodiversity? Curious about neurodiversity? What is neurodiversity anyway? I recently had a conversation with my friend, Dr. Brandon Park, who has dedicated his work to supporting neurodiverse individuals about this, inspiring this blog post. The term neurodiversity has evolved significantly over the years, initially associated primarily with Autism and later expanding into a broader framework that encompasses various cognitive differences. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/allowing-your-child-to-struggle monthly 0.5 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1724760736487-6QJ4Y937KXZ5KMV4W6JT/Allowing+Your+Child+to+Struggle+and+Not+Be+Rescued.jpg Blog - Allowing your child to struggle and not be rescued Recently, bringing my child to their first year of college has stirred a range of emotions in me. As a parent, I find myself needing to follow the same advice I've given to families over the years: sometimes, letting your kids go and allowing them to navigate challenges on their own is essential. As parents, we are saying goodbye to our children, but they are not only parting from us—they're also leaving behind friends they've known for most of their lives. That’s hard enough, but it’s easy to become myopic in our most vulnerable moments. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/importance-of-being-present monthly 0.5 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1723558760338-41T95UH3OGA5V1IG4PDN/Vonnegut+and+Friends.jpg Blog - So it Goes: Lessons on Being Present from Friends and Vonnegut In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, the importance of being present cannot be overstated. Being present means truly engaging with the people and experiences around us rather than being distracted by digital devices or future worries. This mindful approach to life allows us to appreciate the simple, sweet moments that often go unnoticed. It's a lesson echoed in the wisdom of Kurt Vonnegut and the enduring appeal of the TV show Friends. https://www.joshdoyleconsulting.com/blog/loneliness-in-teens monthly 0.5 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613e5b70cb255d7b04b17e86/1722956335935-UHURO8LMGZBZ3ZA1P625/Loneliness+Epidemic.jpg Blog - The Loneliness Epidemic: Insights from Robert Putnam Isolation and lack of engagement are more common than ever in the post-pandemic world. I recently listened to The New York Times podcast, “The Interview: Robert Putnam Knows Why You're Lonely," which struck a chord with me. Adults today aren't engaging with each other, and this trend has trickled down to younger generations who grew up with social media, exacerbating loneliness in teens.
