Neurodiversity In Education #4: Disabled Students on Inclusion, Empowerment, and Support | Ep. 24

Neurodiversity In Education #4: Disabled Students on Inclusion, Empowerment, and Support | Ep. 24

In this episode, I chat with some amazing students at my small specialist college about what it really means to feel supported as a disabled or neurodivergent person in education. I’m neurodivergent and blind myself, so this is a topic really close to my heart.


We talk honestly about everything—from the little things that make a big difference, like subtitles and flexible breaks, to the deeper stuff like trust, identity, and the importance of being seen as a whole person. Storm shares their experience as a deaf student and gives some powerful advice on how to communicate better. Polly opens up about living with a rare condition and her wish to just be treated like anyone else. Brad talks about managing blindness and epilepsy, and Will reflects on anxiety, ADHD, and the value of shared understanding.


I also share some of my own experiences—like how people sometimes assume blindness is my biggest challenge, when actually, autism and anxiety play a bigger role in my life, and the difference being in a smaller specialist college has had on me. And just when we thought the episode was over, we were interrupted by a buzzing bee. Clearly, even the bees have something to say about inclusion!
