Neurodivergent Language Teachers - a lived experience white paper

Boelo van der Pool's white paper is now available to read. Read on to access the link.

Based on responses from 221 neurodivergent language teachers worldwide, this paper explores a topic that is still largely missing from professional conversations in our field: the lived experiences of neurodivergent teachers in language education.

The findings reveal a reality that can no longer be ignored in our profession. For example, 42% of respondents do not disclose their neurodivergence at work, only 15% of formally diagnosed respondents were diagnosed before the age of 18, and 89% say they are interested in neurodiversity-focused CPD tailored to teachers, while only 8% report receiving regular workplace training on neurodiversity.
