Feeling overwhelmed by constant IEP meetings, doctor visits, and behavior struggles? Join Wendy Taylor as she interviews developmental-behavioral pediatrician Dr. Amir Miodovnik—an expert who trained at Boston Children’s and Kennedy Krieger—on how medical factors like sleep, anxiety, and ADHD shape learning and behavior. Discover how to transform your observations into action: translate clinical insights into school strategies, prioritize child-centered supports, and plan ahead as your child grows. Warm, clear, and deeply empowering—this episode gives you a strategy you can use immediately.

Three Key Takeaways
  • Sleep first: Establish sleep routines before tackling attention or emotional issues.
  • One-page strategy: Create a “Student Health Snapshot” to share medical insights clearly with your school team.
  • Expect change: Be vigilant through transitions—behaviors evolve, so adapt supports accordingly.
