Sarah Alix, the writer of The Neurodiversity Handbook for Trainee Teachers, is certainly the kind of authoritative voice on neurodiversity that those new to the teaching profession will benefit from hearing. [...] It is exactly the kind of book that educational professionals need, to understand what it is to be neurodivergent and how teachers can support their neurodivergent students, in their classrooms on a daily basis.
