Parents like myself need good teachers like you who are willing to go above and beyond to create a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment for neurodivergent students. So thank you for taking that first step by being here.
Now, I know it's hard to get all the resources you need in order to support the wide range of learning needs in your classroom (budget cuts, time, etc.).
But when you toss in something new that you've never heard of before, such as hyperlexia, you might be wondering how on Earth you're going to possibly support this student...
Don't worry, I've got loads of free resources to get you going. And not just for hyperlexia either.
The goal here is to:
Provide you with knowledge, tools, and neurodiversity-affirming resources to better support neurodivergent learners in the classroom.
