We're All Special!

We’re All Special! is packed with practical ideas and research-based support strategies to help teachers as they seek to meet the learning needs of their students.

Teachers are under ever more pressure to ensure that all students in their classes make good progress, no matter what challenges they face.

This highly accessible book outlines a neurodiversity-affirming approach to supporting learning differences. It shows that much supportive provision can be made without relying on official diagnoses or huge budgets. Not only that, it reminds us that our most valuable asset in ‘finding what works’ is right in front of us – the students themselves!

This is key. By using neurodiversity to view learning differences positively and combining this with listening carefully to our pupils, we can connect the classroom support we provide with what the children and young people are experiencing every day.

Change is desperately needed in the way in which learning needs are catered for. By adopting the approach put forward in this book, each reader can be a part of that change.
