Catrina Lowri NeuroTeacher

Catrina Lowri is an experienced special needs teacher and senco who has worked in both mainstream and specialist settings. She is passionate about neurodiversity in schools and neuroinclusion. At Neuroteachers we know how time and resource poor schools, colleges and nurseries are. Neurodiversity for teachers means simple, practical solutions that will improve behaviour, attendance and attainment for your neurodivergent learner. You can learn these today and put into practice tomorrow.

Our neurodiversity for schools training and resources can help you tweak your existing skills to make your lessons more accessible to autistic, adhd, dyslexic and dyspraxic learners without creating more work.
