Course Background

“20% of the population has a neurodiverse brain. So also 20% of your students. But many times we don’t know (and neither do they). And our teachers aren’t prepared for neurodiverse friendly classes and language courses. In autumn 2025 we conducted a mystery shopping experiment among Irish language schools assessing how well prepared they are for students with dyslexia, ADHD or autism. In this webinar, we will present the surprising results, but we will also look at what teachers and schools can do to start their neurodiverse friendly journey and become schools that truly make a difference to 20% of the population”.
