What is Neurodiversity?

Gain a comprehensive understanding of neurodiversity, which celebrates the natural variations in how students think and process information. Neurodiversity includes autism, ADHD, dyslexia, to name a few, thus, as educator, we must consider the unique strengths and needs of neurodiverse students and understand how these differences can impact learning and social interactions.

We will explore practical strategies for creating a neuroaffirming classroom and school, including Universal Design for Learning (UDL), flexible teaching methods, and personalised support
