“High functioning” can be misleading. Karen Mayer Cunningham reminds us that a child’s strengths don’t erase their challenges — and labels don’t define their potential. Focusing on the full picture, including comorbidities and real-life needs, is what truly matters in supporting a child’s growth and success. 🎧 Listen to Her Unshakeable Confidence now and learn how to see beyond labels and advocate effectively for your child’s unique needs! #SpecialEducationBoss #EpicIEP #IEPAdvocacy #504Plan #P

Reminder that we no longer use functioning labels to describe Autism or other neurodivergence. "High functioning" denies support and "low functioning" denies agency. Both are harmful and inaccurate terms. We now use levels and explain a person's autism by describing their support needs. | Brains and Spoons
