The key messages of the Neuroinclusive Education Network
Vision
Using NEN ‘s autism specialism and expertise to develop wider commitment to leading on good neuroinclusive practice in education.
Mission
- Meet the demand for training in autism and neurodivergence
- Extend the reach of our culture change programme
- Deepen the impact of best neuroinclusive practice across the sector
Together we are shaping a future where every learner can thrive.
The key message of the Neuroinclusive Education Network is:
- Autism is a difference - The NEN approaches autism as a different way of being rather than as a ‘deficient’ or ‘disordered’ way of being.
- We value the strength that comes with embracing neurodiversity and working in partnership with a network of autism education specialists, autistic people, parents of autistic children, academies and education professionals.
"The Autism Spectrum training was very informative and well structured. It helped me develop a better understanding of autism and how it can affect individuals differently. The examples used were clear and relevant, and I feel more confident in applying this knowledge in practice."
