In this episode, we celebrate Neurodiversity Week by exploring the importance of early detection of neurodivergent children. We delve into the common misconceptions held by educators about neurodiversity in early childhood, and why they may feel that way. We discuss a different approach to understanding neurodiversity and the value of inclusion in the classroom.

By aligning with Standards 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, and 1.6 of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, we can create a supportive learning environment for all students.

Join us for this thought-provoking discussion and learn how you can make a difference in the lives of neurodivergent children.
