Neurodiversity is the new buzzword in the classroom, but what is it and how can we tell if it’s an issue for ESOL learners? At this meeting, Amber Fraser-Smith is going to take you on a journey into neurodiversity. You’ll find out what it is, how to recognise it and even gain some idea of how it feels. You’ll also have a chance to brainstorm ways to overcome some of the difficulties of neurodiversity, and work with its strengths, in the ESOL classroom.
Schedule

Talk 6:00pm to 7:00pm
