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.

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.

The Neuroinclusive Educator expands our understanding and give us the tools to transform our practice. It challenges us to recognize how many commonly accepted classroom practices are actually unsupportive of students, while providing inclusive, alternative solutions and 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.
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

As a neurodivergent educator, I was thrilled to discover a book that completely blows traditional textbooks out of the water. Victoria's innovative "choose your own journey" approach is both engaging and inherently neuroinclusive. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to all educators who are committed to creating communities where everyone feels they belong and can thrive.
