Listen "On Being a Neurodivergent Educator"
Episode Synopsis
Overview:
On today’s podcast, I speak with Sara Larrington, a learning support coordinator at Dresden International School. Growing up, Sara felt “different” from their peers. In Sara’s 20’s they received a diagnosis of Aspergers. Our discussion today focuses on Sara’s experiences in school as a child, why boys are diagnosed at a much higher rate than girls with ASD, what schools can do to better support their neurodivergent learners, and how Sara’s ability to connect with students is their super power. I hope you enjoy our conversation today as much as I did. And now...onto the show.
