About this listen

Is that student "acting out," or are they experiencing sensory overload? 🧠 In this eye-opening episode of Hall Pass to Nowhere, we sit down with sensory experts Donna Redman and Cynthia Duffy to uncover the "Secret Genius" of sensory processing.

We challenge the traditional view of classroom behavior, exploring how sensory needs—from the tag on a shirt to the hum of a fluorescent light—impact learning and executive function. If you are a teacher, parent, or admin trying to support neurodiverse students, this conversation will change how you see your classroom.

In this episode, you’ll learn:The "Secret Genius" Framework: Why sensory sensitivity is a strength, not a deficit. ✅ Behavior vs. Biology: How to distinguish between defiance and dysregulation. ✅ Heavy Work & Proprioception: Practical tools to calm the nervous system instantly. ✅ The Executive Function

Connection: Why you can't teach a dysregulated brain. ✅ Self-Advocacy: Teaching students to own their sensory profile.
