Here are some of the essential components that I believe make up the foundation of a potential neuroinclusive education:

• Neuroaffirming Practices: Fostering Belonging
• Structured Literacy and Explicit Instruction: A Solid Foundation
• Neuroscience-Aligned Curriculum: Learning from the Brain
• Universal Design for Learning: Customization for All
• Inclusivity of All Stakeholders: Collaboration for Success

Remember, every human is unique, and the strategies that work best for one human may differ for another. Be willing to adapt and evolve your approach as you learn more about neurodiversity and the needs and strengths of all humans. Incorporating neurodiversity affirming practices is an ongoing journey of learning, empathy, and growth.
