Don't underestimate the power of dynamic movement breaks.

Movement is so powerful.

We see it every day a child who can't sit still for 2 minutes can focus for 20 after they've jumped, pushed, stretched, spun, carried something heavy.

It's not misbehaviour. It's regulation.

Movement breaks help to:
- reset the nervous system
- burn off that extra energy and frustration
- bring focus BACK without a battle
- build body awareness and emotional control

And when we take that outside? Even better.

Outdoor learning , play-based learning isn't just "fun time". It's where sensory needs are met naturally. Fresh air, big movements, hands in the mud, running, climbing, balancing — the brain is literally more ready to learn.

You don't need a fancy setup.
2 minutes of animal walks.
10 star jumps before writing.
Carrying books to the other side.
A quick "shake it out" dance between tasks.

It works. Especially for our ADHDers.

The Power of Time in the Workplace and Classroom

Slow processing speed is not about intelligence. It’s about the time it takes an individual to take in information, process it, and respond. People with slower processing speed understand just as much, but they need more time to organize thoughts, retrieve words, and complete tasks — especially under pressure.

Here’s a small practice with big impact: give everyone 1 to 1.5 minutes of silent thinking time before opening the floor for answers.
No calling out. No rushing. Just space to think.

That pause creates inclusion. It allows individuals with slower processing speed to catch up, contribute, and feel confident instead of left behind.

When we build in time, we don’t slow the team down. We make the team stronger.
Because real inclusion isn’t about speed. It’s about access.

Happy Blessed Birthday to our advocate 😘

In advocacy spaces, we often promote awareness, accommodations, and understanding for dyslexic individuals.
But there is a blind spot we need to address

How we support Dyslexic colleagues within our own organizations.

One issue I see often is that we confuse advocacy with perfection.

Because a colleague is a dyslexic advocate, we assume they have mastered every strategy.

We expect them to manage transcription, organization, and multi-step tasks without support.
The result? They hide their struggles to protect their credibility.

This creates a culture where the very people leading the conversation on dyslexia don’t feel safe asking for the accommodations we recommend to others.

What needs to change
-Separate the role from the person. Being an advocate doesn’t mean you don’t have bad days or bottlenecks.

-Normalize accommodations.
Ask “What format works best for you?” instead of waiting to be told.

-Model what we promote
If we recommend speech-to-text for learners, we should use it in our own workflows too.

-Focus on output, not mechanics.
Judge ideas, not spelling in the first draft.

True advocacy isn’t about perfect performance. It’s about building environments where people can be honest about their needs and still thrive.

If we aren’t willing to redesign how we work with each other, our external advocacy will always ring hollow.

Some children can remember a single instruction, but the moment you add a second step, it disappears.

That’s because of a part of working memory called the phonological loop.

Think of it as a mental holding bay for sounds and words. It works like an inner voice on repeat, keeping information active. Without rehearsal, though, that information fades within seconds.

For dyslexic learners, this loop fills up very quickly.
A two-step instruction can be gone before they even start. This isn’t about poor listening. It’s a capacity issue.

One strategy that helps is over learning.
Some children need much more repetition than their peers before a skill becomes automatic.
That doesn’t mean they’re behind.
Once a skill is overlearned, it no longer takes up conscious working memory.
The repetition is the strategy working.

Not all disabilities are visible.

The Sunflower is a simple way for people with non-visible disabilities to discreetly share that they may need a little extra time, understanding or support in public spaces.
You might see someone wearing a Sunflower lanyard, badge or bracelet, now you know what it means.

Let’s help more people recognise the Sunflower by sharing our posts.
