Description

One of the biggest hurdles in disability education is the Insistence on Completion / Perfection.
 
In this episode, Dr. Vaish Sarathy breaks down the one rule that every parent and educator of disabled children needs to hear: Progress in Learning requires gaps.
 
And refusing to move forward until every milestone is mastered is the fastest route to stagnation.
 
She uses the lens of game theory to map out a “payoff matrix” that compares the risks of moving forward (even when skills are shaky) to the devastating cost of waiting. Spoiler: the risks of progressing are minimal. The potential payoff? Life-changing.
