Recommendations if this approach is to work. Thank you for reading!
What's needed for this approach to work? Clear national direction and adequate funding Regular review so report stays responsive Genuine co-production with neurodivergent people

​Key takeaways:
​
​🌱 Promising but fragile
​➕ Should complement, not replace, diagnosis
​👥 Must be genuinely co-produced

A notepad-style graphic with key findings and recommendations. The approach is: Promising but fragile. Approaches should complement, not replace, diagnosis. Will only work with genuine collaboration. What did participants see as potential strengths? Support could happen earlier Young people and families could have an active role in decision-making More neuroaffirming than deficit models Looks beyond attainment to the whole person A quote from a neurodivergent parent: My child’s school supported us to get a referral for a formal autism assessment, but didn’t know how to actually support them day to day. If the tool is genuinely neurodiversity-affirming, it would have helped the teachers know what to do (#20, Neurodivergent parent, aged 35-44). Key concerns raised: Ongoing misunderstandings of neurodivergence in schools Risk of losing protections linked to diagnosis Masking, multiple neurodivergences and cultural differences being missed Limited funding, training and capacity in schools

Do you think profiling could help build neuroaffirmative classrooms?
