Last month, Archie Clapcott joined Dale in the studio to share his transition from mainstream to special education. Today, his Mum, Rebecca Clapcott, draws on her extensive experience as the founder of the Awesome Archie nonprofit to discuss how to support neurodiverse students and why schools must embrace change.

Rebecca emphasises that many teachers lack the understanding and training needed for effective neurodiversity support, advocating for a compassionate approach that values individuality and fosters understanding among educators.

She addresses relatable topics, such as school uniforms, and I particularly enjoyed her passionate insights about unnecessary rules. Rebecca discusses the importance of flexible thinking in education, urging schools to create environments where all children can thrive. She stresses that understanding and empathy are essential for effective education, stating, “In my opinion, the best teachers and TAs are those who are empathetic.”
