Victoria Bagnall's deep expertise and humane approach to education shine throughout The Neuroinclusive Educator. This brilliant book shows teachers how to accommodate variability so all children can belong.

Victoria's book offers well-researched insights as well as practical strategies and case studies to show how to enable rather than just accommodate. Every classroom is a neurodiverse classroom and always was, but now we know better and now we know how to help.

A sensible, practical guide to moving away from labels and behaviour fixes towards understanding how brains actually work in real classrooms, so everyday practice reduces barriers and makes learning possible for more, dare I say all, children.
Abigail Hawkins, FCCT, Founder of SENsible SENCO CIC

The Neuroinclusive Educator brilliantly translates theory and research on executive functioning into accessible frameworks and practical strategies for schools. Through real case studies, activities and thoughtful reflection questions, Victoria Bagnall supports educators to take one meaningful step at a time towards creating truly inclusive classrooms.

Some books are helpful because they remind us of what we already know about good teaching. Others actually expand our understanding and give us the tools to transform our practice. The Neuroinclusive Educator firmly belongs in this second category.
This book serves as an excellent guidebook to help educators better understand neurodivergent students. It challenges us to recognize how many commonly accepted classroom practices are actually unsupportive of these students, while providing inclusive, alternative solutions. At its core, the book emphasizes psychological safety, demonstrating how vital a secure learning environment is for students to stretch, take risks, and learn.
What sets this book apart is how it translates complex, unfamiliar concepts-like interoception, co-regulation, and mental contrasting-into accessible, easy-to-implement classroom strategies. It is packed with actionable techniques that help every student feel welcome, accepted, and safe. Even better, it includes ready-to-use worksheets for both teachers and students, saving precious prep time. My personal favorite element is the intentional integration of reflection prompts. By encouraging both educators and students to think about why these new practices work, the book beautifully solidifies long-term learning. This is a must-read for any educator looking to build a truly inclusive classroom.Peg Dawson, psychologist, author and recipient of recipient of the National Association of School Psychologists' Lifetime Achievement Award
