Supporting neurodivergent students in the classroom

Dr Emily McDougal from Anna Freud, a mental health charity in the UK, shares insights from her work into supporting neurodivergent students in schools and classrooms. Emily’s research explores the learning of autistic students, and she was a member of the team that worked on the Edinburgh Psychoeducation Intervention for Children (EPIC), in which she worked with children with ADHD and their teachers to develop a toolbox-based intervention aimed to support cognition and learning in the classroom. Emily shares practical approaches and strategies that teachers can use to support their engagement with, and the learning of, neurodivergent students.
