Teachers and teacher educators, my new book, Creating a Neurodiversity-Affirming Classroom, comes out in July 2025!

Imagine a class where:
- there is no 'normal'; all 🧠s are expected + welcomed
- we teach about brains, metacognition, learning tools, + self-advocacy
- students are our best resources
The cover of Kara 's new book. The background is neutral. There are cartoon graphics circling the title of a green and turquoise communication board, a pink and turquoise fidget spinner, yellow headphones, a turquoise pop it, a white and green agenda, and a yellow and pink water bottle. The title text is in ombre rainbow colours and reads Creating a neurodiversity-affirming classroom. Below is a pink banner with white text that reads easy ways to achieve access, agency, and well-being for all. Kara Dymond is written in turquoise text.
