The Orthodoxy of PBS in Schools
In response to the AGAINST PBS & ABA campaign and the launch of the Neurodiversity Affirming Toolkit, today’s Guest Contributor reflects on their experience as a SEND professional and Neurodivergent parent. They explore how their son’s journey through the special education system exposed the tensions between neurodiversity-affirming, person-centred care and school practices rooted in compliance-based, behaviourist approaches.
Belonging grows from being seen: the reflections of a parent in a Neurodivergent family

Got something to say?
We commission blogs from neurodivergent writers. We are particularly keen to hear from people of colour, older people, and non-speaking members of our community. Help us in our mission to amplify the views and voices that are most often left unseen and unheard.
