nEuRoDiVeRsE Books

Help me give my students books to celebrate neurodiversity such as Neurodivergent Ninja and A Friend for Henry.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Zahm's classroom raised $173

This project is fully funded

My Project

April is Autism Acceptance Month and I have many wonderful neurodivergent students. I realize I do not have many books that explain and celebrate neurodivergence. I would like to have these books to make my neurodivergent students feel special and to educate typical children on the matter and make them more accepting.

Neurodivergence refers to a range of brain differences that affect how a person thinks, learns, and interacts with the world.

It is a broad term that encompasses various conditions, including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. These books will be used in classroom guidance, 1:1 counseling sessions, and small group counseling sessions.
