Unpacking what a Neurodiverse School is
Dr. Greg Pienaar • 13 April 2023
Join Dr Greg Pienaar as he dives into the topic of why you should consider a neurodiverse high school and shares a helpful "Pathway to tertiary" tool on the bridge website, as well as subject choices at The Bridge School.
For learners who experience barriers to learning, the prospect of tertiary education can raise questions that go well beyond academic marks. Renie Sutherland, principal of The Bridge Assisted Learning School Morningside, believes that education needs to recognise the individual learner. But what does that mean when preparing young people for life after school?
Childhood friendships come with an astonishing number of unwritten rules. Adults sometimes make things harder by assuming every child should want the same kind of social life.
Two children can achieve the same marks, complete the same work and receive equally glowing reports. That doesn’t mean learning is costing them the same amount of effort.
