In this warm and insightful talk, Dr. Mona invites us to rethink what we call “normal” by exploring the beautifully diverse ways children’s brains are wired. Through real stories filled with humor, heart, and hope, she reveals how learning differences are not deficits but alternate pathways—scenic routes that lead to creativity, resilience, and brilliance. She reminds us that when we celebrate how each mind is uniquely wired, we don’t just transform a child’s life—we redefine what it truly means to learn, to grow, and to be human.
