I had just attended Ms…
I had just attended Ms. Iyabọ Akintola's session on Problem Solving through vocabulary games and was referred to this resource page.
Thank you for the resources! I teach neurodivergent students, and I am always seeking engaging ways to educate them.
Thanks
Hi M. Tyler
Fantastic! I'm glad you found this page and hope these resources are useful for you and that you enjoyed the webinar :)
You might also find these resources useful for supporting neurodivergent learners - the first is an article and the second is a series of webinars on neurodivergence in the classroom:
