@qlmentoring #repostthis #reposting According to the Department of Education, 15% of students in the United Kingdom have a learning difference. I am one of these students.  Many students with special educational needs (SEN) have negative school experiences. I know what it feels like to be frustrated, embarrassed and humiliated at school. I also know what it feels like to have some teachers and classmates assume you are not smart. At school, we are constantly reminded of what we can’t do. This can be very discouraging and demoralising.

Many neurodivergent adults look back on their school experience in a negative light. Many of these adults spent much of their time at school feeling bad about themselves. They were often made to feel like failures. No one should ever be made to feel this way. By acknowledging and celebrating the strengths of SEN students, we can begin the seismic shift of changing the way students with special needs are perceived and treated at school and also  the change the way neurodivergent students feel about themselves. My hope is that all students have happy, positive and fulfilling school experiences.
