As part of a rollout of the series: The labels you give when you donโ€™t give labels, Casey Bailey joins us to share his expertise in supporting neurodivergence in the classroom and the impact that diagnosis can have to both support students and prevent harmful labels that are given when diagnosis labels are not there to help.

Grounded in real examples in which we can find our own experiences and can apply to our practice, this session has insights that may reframe how you view your students!

1๏ธโƒฃ Labels can protect neurodivergent students from harmful stereotypes while making necessary inclusive actions an expectation.

2๏ธโƒฃ Developing a deeper understanding of ADHD as a function can help teachers to understand and support their teachers better (see the clip below!).

3๏ธโƒฃ There is still work to be done to ensure that while acting as a shield to protect, diagnoses of neurodivergence do not also become a barrier to that studentโ€™s opportunities.
