New Publication: 6 Ways to Support Autistic Girls in Your Classroom

I’m delighted to share that my latest article has just been published by Edutopia.

It draws together my work as a tutor, writer, and parent, connecting the everyday experiences of autistic girls with the broader research evidence that shapes inclusive classroom practice.
