“This book covers such an important topic. How I wish I’d read this when I was a trainee teacher or early in my teaching career! I honestly do believe it would have made such a difference to my own wellbeing as well as to my classroom practice, my understanding of pupils’ needs and to my daily interactions. I really do feel this is a truly valuable resource. It is essential reading for everyone working in all schools.” - Victoria Honeybourne, Specialist Teacher, Neurodiversity Trainer and Author
