Building A Neuroinclusive School is a FREE learning platform and community-building programme for primary and secondary school leaders and teachers.
We make it easy for schools to progress their own neuroinclusivity journeys, with FREE, SIMPLE and PRACTICAL resources that meet you where you are at, and support from both experts and peers.
