The world expects the impossible from teachers, with so many young people in our care - all with unique needs. How do we help everyone to thrive?

Imagine a classroom where there is no 'normal' - where all brains are expected and welcomed. Students are taught about neurodiversity, metacognition, and self-advocacy alongside the curriculum and are encouraged to identify their own needs. Learning tools are taught and available to everyone!
This thoughtful guide breaks down the learning process. It's brimming with practical tips, brain-based strategies, and illustrative examples that teachers can implement in the classroom. Stories of real teachers and neurodivergent students help educators envision how to apply neurodiversity-affirming approaches.

This book invites a compassionate lens for teachers and students alike. It's the how-to of forging partnerships with students - our best resources in collaboratively problem-solving pressing classroom concerns and invisible learning needs. Everyone benefits when we plan with accessibility in mind!

    Kara Dymond's feel for neurodiversity is unmatched. This book beautifully integrates her decades of intense study, immense pedagogical creativity, and deep compassion for learners. In a world of artificial intelligence, Dymond's leadership on how to affirm and fully develop human intelligence is essential. This is exactly what educators should be reading right now.
