Our Minds on Music with Allison Davies - Part 2
Honestly, our kids get a rough go. What we often expect of them at a young age can far outweigh what their brain can actually manage — and we don’t even realise we’re doing it! Today we’re finishing our chat with Allison Davies.
Today we’re chatting about the importance of predictability for children, Hyperactivity and her family’s journey from homeschooling to schooling.
You can catch the first part of our conversation in last week’s episode.

👉 Guest Details
Allison holds a Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Teaching, a Master of Music Therapy and Neurologic Music Therapy training. A former Registered Music Therapist of 16 years, Alli left the Allied Health industry in 2021 in order to align her work more deeply with culturally responsive practices and to switch her focus from individual change to socio cultural change. She is an independent liberatory scholar currently exploring the gatekeeping and classism of the social construct ‘musical vs non musical’.
Alli is an autistic person with attention, sensory processing and executive functioning difficulties. She works within a neurodiversity framework that favours deep acceptance and regulation over assimilation and intervention, and shares her lived experience of autism openly within her seminars, workshops and conferences as part of her ‘emotive storytelling mixed with science’ approach to education.
