Fostering understanding and inclusion for all learners

How can you create a more respectful and inclusive school culture?

To create an inclusive and supportive learning environment, it’s essential that every student not only feels valued but also understood.

It is important of promote understanding and empathy among all children.

Neurodiverse pupils may experience the world and the classroom in unique ways—this can affect how they process information, engage socially, or respond to sensory input. When their peers gain insight into these differences, it can lead to greater patience, kindness, and cooperation, ultimately strengthening the classroom community as a whole.

Through age-appropriate discussions, stories, and activities, we can help children appreciate that while we all learn and communicate differently, those differences enrich our shared experiences. Encouraging this awareness builds empathy and lays the foundation for a more respectful and inclusive school culture.

Making a Mark! Discovering the Power of Neurodiversity on a Learning Safari is an educational resource in a story format aimed at 9–14 year olds. Written by Katrin McElderry and Mark Stoddart, the book highlights neurodiverse learning profiles – particularly dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and ADHD – while weaving in educational themes like grit and the growth mindset through its characters and their experiences.

The first section of Making a Mark! Discovering the Power of Neurodiversity on a Learning Safari is written in story format and tells the educational journey of Mark and his neurodiverse friends. The second section provides information on how the brain works and neurodiversity and enables readers to reflect upon their own learning profiles: their strengths and challenges alike.

The book can be easily integrated into a classroom setting aimed at supporting neurodiverse students while also benefitting neurotypical learners in helping them build a balanced understanding of cognitive learning differences.
