Overview:
On today’s podcast, I speak with Sara Larrington, a learning support coordinator at Dresden International School. Growing up, Sara felt “different” from their peers. In Sara’s 20’s they received a diagnosis of Aspergers. Our discussion today focuses on Sara’s experiences in school as a child, why boys are diagnosed at a much higher rate than girls with ASD, what schools can do to better support their neurodivergent learners, and how Sara’s ability to connect with students is their super power. I hope you enjoy our conversation today as much as I did. And now...onto the show.
Sara Larrington (they/them) is an educator with 21 years of experience. As a person who is Asperger's, they have always had a passion for helping students who are learning diverse and for facilitating inclusion.
Sara has been lucky enough to work in International Education since 2010 which has taken them to Thailand, Panama, Vietnam and Germany
