In this episode, we explore the importance of raising awareness of invisible disabilities and neurodiversity in schools, the impact this can have on children and young people, and the unique perspective neurodivergent people can bring to school governing boards.
To discuss this topic, we’re joined by three passionate and knowledgeable voices - Chantal Boyle, Communications Manager at Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, Dr Claire Walsh, Chair of Governors (co-opted) and neurodiversity advocate, and Sue Blyth, Headteacher of Fourfields Community Primary School.
