Promoting neurodiversity is a part
of school counselors’ advocacy role in creating equitable and inclusive
schools. What is neurodiversity? Neuro refers to the brain, recognizing
that human brains have the capacity to allow youth to have a completely different
experience than the person sitting right next to them in the classroom.
Diversity includes embracing the brain’s role in attending, regulating,
learning and overall wellness for all students and educators. Discover

neurodiverse students across a multitiered system of supports. Learn about the
school counselor’s role in counseling,
consulting, collaborating and advocating for students.
