A proposito di questo titolo

Inclusion in education isn't working as well as it should. Despite good intentions, many neurodivergent young people are still being left behind, leading to lifelong consequences for their well-being and opportunities. In our latest SENDcast episode, host Dale Pickles is joined by a record number of guests - five members of the Compass Panel - a passionate group of professionals committed to neuro-inclusion. Featuring Liz Day, Victoria Bagnall, Dr Helen Ross, Fintan O'Regan, and Pete Jarrett the panel explores the pressing need for systemic change in education. They discuss how current systems often fail neurodivergent individuals and how practical, evidence-informed changes can transform inclusion from an aspiration into an everyday reality. The conversation addresses what's currently happening in schools, the rising exclusion rates as a warning sign of deeper systemic issues, and a roadmap toward a genuinely neuroinclusive society. Join them for insights on actionable steps that individuals and organisations can take to implement positive change. View all podcasts available or visit our SENDcast sessions shop!
