What do you know about ADHD and Dyslexia? How can you identify it? How can you deal with neurodivergent students in your class?
This week I am joined by the fantastic Ania Karwowska of Polca Languages. She gives us some ideas on how to start supporting our neurodivergent students in an ESL setting. I can't promise to solve all your issues but I can promise that by the end of this episode, you will have a wealth of little tips and tricks to start implementing straightaway, as well as some other topicslike sequencing and structured word enquiry that you can dig a little deeper into.
Ania is a self-described Anna, vegan jogger, bicycle lover. ESL teacher, literacy researcher & an OG tutor.
