Such an engaging, informative and comprehensive guide. This book has been written to support educators to understand neurodivergence and help neurodivergent students to succeed, although I would argue that many elements in this book are incredibly relevant for parents and other professionals who work directly with neurodivergent individuals.

There are so many nuggets of wisdom in this book, including information about functioning labels, learner variability, universal design strategies, double empathy problem, presuming competence, hidden curriculum, among so many more!

This book is a must-read for all educators, to support true inclusion and to encourage ALL students to thrive!

Neurodiversity Affirming Schools by Emily Kircher-Morris and Amanda Morin is very interesting but at times I found it difficult to fully understand and grasp the concept. I myself is ADHD and ASD I chose to read this book to learn and understand about Neurodiversity. I feel that not only for school and teachers to read the book to help understand the needs for certain students struggling with learning at school; I highly recommend that this book can be used for lectures and a secondary text for assignments. I highly recommend support workers, youth workers, parents and therapists to learn about neurodiversity and how to adapt lessons and therapy and play

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of neurodiversity in schools, making it a valuable resource for educators. It provides practical interventions and strategies to help teachers better understand and engage their students. An ideal addition to collections for teacher candidates and a valuable tool for ongoing professional development.

📕📚This book is very informative and shares a lot of information about neurodiversity and planning as well as tips for helping scholars grow. I love that this book speaks on planning and how to have us as the teachers, adults professionals adjusting to what the scholars need versus the other way around. I love that we are looking at how we can help make them more comfortable versus confirming them to what the world is. Amazing book.

Yes, yes YES! I wish I could give this to every SPED teacher that gave up on my Autistic children. We've had a nightmare of a time in the public school system and ultimately had to homeschool because so many school lack, well, basically everything this book covers! I took much of this information to heart while adjusting my curriculum for my children. I wish this would become a standard book for all up and coming teacher to read before they begin teaching.
