The Leadership Beacon with Anne Kyle
Shining a Light on Neurodiversity
In today's episode I am talking about neurodiversity and the SEND crisis, inspired by Jamie Oliver's recent Channel 4 program. With over 1.5 million pupils identified as having special educational needs in England, I discuss the systemic failures that leave neurodivergent children behind. I share practical tools, transformative strategies to foster inclusive environments where every child can thrive.
Hear me talk about:
- the SEND crisis and Jamie Oliver's impact
- practical strategies for educators
- the importance of courageous leadership
