Inside Voices: A Teacher Podcast

We have become much more aware of neurodivergent learners and their needs when it comes to learning. However, many teachers feel under qualified and out of the loop when it comes to neurodivergent learners. In this episode, we interview Mr G, an expert in teaching children with ADHD. He discusses the nuances and differences between different diagnoses and how teachers can best support all learners within their class. If you want to learn more about inclusion and learn some strategies that you can put into practice then tune in.----more----
