The first thing about a neurodiversity affirming school is that it recognizes that there are multiple ways of learning, right?
And that teaching is not a one size fits all thing.
And unfortunately, we live in systems that sort of have gone that way for a long time, that we're looking at a one size fits all.
How do you teach students?
But a neurodiversity affirming school recognizes that there is no one size fits all.
that there are learners who are going to learn from the traditional type of teaching that you do in your classroom.
But there are also learners who are going to benefit from you understanding some of the motivations behind how they show up in your classroom, some of the motivations of how they don't show up in your classroom, because I think that's just as important.
And also it neutralizes the way that we talk about disability and neurodivergence, right?
So we're not looking at it as like those kids over there.
It's let's
Talk about this for what it is, right?

That's your classroom, right?
