Neurodiversity & Types of Neurodivergence Lesson | READING & WRITING ACTIVITIES | Autism Acceptance

Foster understanding, empathy, and inclusivity in your classroom with this engaging resource about Neurodiversity!

Neurodiversity is a topic everyone talks about, yet many students (and adults!) don’t fully understand it. This resource provides a clear, accurate, and insightful overview of neurodivergence—what it is, why it matters, and how recognizing it can help create a more inclusive world.

I recommend using this resource with Secondary School students. These activities are also suitable for ESL/ELL students whose level of English is Intermediate (B1-B2) or Advanced (C1-C2).

PRINT AND DIGITAL VERSIONS OF THE ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED.
