How I Navigate the Classroom as a Neurodivergent Teacher

by

In the bustling canvas of education, I am an artist navigating the classroom with a distinctive perspective. As a neurodivergent teacher, I approach my daily lessons with the vibrant brushstrokes of accommodations and assistive technologies.

Sensory sensitivities transform into a kaleidoscope of textures and sounds, guiding my students towards a safe and inclusive space. Executive functioning challenges are met with a tailored easel of strategies, empowering learners to unravel the complexities of organization.
