Embracing neurodiversity…
This blog provides suggestions and guidance to aid the further education sector on how to accommodate its neurodivergent teaching professionals, and promote a neuro-inclusive workplace.
To declare, or not to declare. That is the question.
Should a teacher declare they are neurodivergent? There is no simple right or wrong answer here, often the decision to declare is influenced by a persons personal and professional experiences of how others have responded to their neurodivergence.
Neuro inclusive work-based quick wins
Accommodating neurodivergent teaching professionals requires the same policy planning and practice as for neurodivergent students. However, at the department level, some quick-win solutions could be put in place to further accommodate neurodivergent teaching professionals.
