How can you create a more respectful and inclusive school culture?

Neurodiverse pupils may experience the world and the classroom in unique ways—this can affect how they process information, engage socially, or respond to sensory input. When their peers gain insight into these differences, it can lead to greater patience, kindness, and cooperation, ultimately strengthening the classroom community as a whole.

Making a Mark! Discovering the Power of Neurodiversity on a Learning Safari is an educational resource in a story format aimed at 9–14 year olds. Written by Katrin McElderry and Mark Stoddart, the book highlights neurodiverse learning profiles – particularly dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and ADHD – while weaving in educational themes like grit and the growth mindset through its characters and their experiences.

To create an inclusive and supportive learning environment, it’s essential that every student not only feels valued but also understood.
