Time for new kinds of learning so we don’t fail our kids. Neurodiversity is everywhere.

Wish it existed when I was a kid. Glad it's happening now.

Train that person to conform.... that's all this is.... so that they spend 99% of their energy conforming with not much left for learning. These kids aren't broken.... they are just different.

What is shocking is how people with autism end up in regular classrooms. They should be assessed and placed in special needs classes like TLC and Special Ed am i right?

This all sounds great and it may help children with special needs. But if we are being completely honest teachers right now are not even meeting the needs of average students, so to pretend they can even implement this, is a complete lie.

There are small classroom changes because nobody wants their kids in school now that Washington wants changes in the schools.

In case you are wondering about Newspeak:
*Neurodivergence*
Noun: Cognitive functioning which is not considered "typical". For example, autistic, dyslexic, and dyspraxic people. In other words: Mentally abnormal people.
