Book Synopsis

It is not uncommon to hear the myth that young children develop in the same way, or that play does not come naturally to disabled or neurodivergent children.

The book explores diverse development and learning through a variety of different lenses, including early years provision, specialist support, and speech and language therapy. The reader is introduced to a range of theoretical perspectives, alongside practical examples, audits, case studies, and strategies which explore the environment and the features and benefits of self-directed play. Topics include:

  • An introduction to neurodiversity-informed practice
  • Unpacking ableism and disablism in early childhood
  • Approaching practice through a neurodiversity-informed lens
