Speaking Their Language: How Strengths-Based Communication Builds Trust, Confidence, and Connection

More info coming soon

When adults learn to communicate in ways that honor how neurodivergent kids think, learn, and express themselves, everything changes. In this keynote, Amanda Morin explores how strengths-based communication can turn moments of misunderstanding into opportunities for trust, confidence, and genuine connection. Through real stories, practical strategies, and a reframing of the “double empathy problem,” parents and caregivers will discover how to speak with their child, not at them, so strengths shine and futures truly grow.

Unlock Your Child’s Potential at the 2025 K-12 REEL Strengths Fair -Discover a world where your neurodivergent child’s strengths and interests come first!
