About the Authors
Meet Megan Mott, M.S. CCC-SLP, a neurodivergent Speech-Language Pathologist and mother of three neurodivergent children. Diagnosed with ADHD, Megan uses her personal insights to foster positive self-identities in her students and promote inclusive education through her Neurodiversity-Affirming Handbook.
Alongside Megan is Dani Rodwell, LCSW, a neurodivergent therapist diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. Dani's firsthand experiences with unaffirming systems of care inspired her dedication to helping other neurodivergent individuals feel seen and understood. Specializing in intersectional identities, she co-owns a nationwide practice offering neuroaffirming support.
Both authors use their professional expertise and personal experiences to equip educators and professionals with effective, neurodiversity-affirming strategies. Their mission is to make a difference in the lives of neurodivergent individuals by promoting understanding, acceptance, and inclusion.

No matter if you are brand new to teaching children with learning differences or an experienced teacher with these children, this book is a quick guide and gives you updated research, and new suggestions on how to make a positive difference in a child with learning differences. I highly recommend it!
Absolutely brilliant. I needed this book 52 years ago. Life could have been so much better.
This resource is going into our practice library & I imagine it will be the #1 resource for helping kids & their parents really understand how to see neurodiversity as a beneficial variation rather than a deficit.
Easy to read & great visuals!
Looking forward to checking out other resources for our therapy library at AHA!
This is a complete and concise handbook for not just teachers and classroom professionals, but parents and adult leaders of any youth programs can benefit as well. My daughter is neurodivergent (ND) and I've found that it can be a struggle to work with some of her other (ND) friends because you don't always know a lot about their different diagnoses. You can read this handbook cover to cover or keep it on your desk to quickly refresh different techniques and strategies. THANK YOU!
Awesome book and well made. I'll definitely be a returning customer
