Neurodivergent learners are not new to the classroom. They have been overlooked in the educational system for hundreds of years and have only recently been starting to receive the attention they deserve as important parts of our learning and working environments. Neurodivergent learners look different from person to person, so it has always been difficult to identify learners early and build the necessary support structures to accommodate their learning.
