If you're a mainstream teacher with a neurodivergent child in your class, it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed when trying to meet their individual needs while supporting the rest of your pupils. This book offers straightforward, workable approaches to help you deliver inclusive, high-quality teaching that supports every learner. The strategies are designed to be realistic and manageable, without adding extra cost, complexity, or pressure to your day.
Every chapter dives into a unique, real-world scenario designed to keep your ‘child in mind’, bringing to life how small, thoughtful adjustments can revolutionise the classroom experience for neurodivergent learners and uplift the entire class. Whether it’s fine-tuning the pace, volume, or complexity of a lesson, or rethinking how tasks are presented and assessed, this book is packed with practical strategies that boost wellbeing, enhance behaviour, and drive academic success. You’ll find exemplar lesson plans, tried and tested techniques, and built-in reflection prompts to help you take action from day one.
Written in clear, jargon-free language, The Other 29 is an invaluable resource for both experienced educators and early career teachers working in primary and secondary mainstream classrooms. It will help to create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for every student in your care.
Catrina Lowri founded Neuroteachers with a clear mission: to help schools, nurseries, and colleges create simple, sustainable solutions for truly neuro-inclusive practice. As a neurodivergent educator herself, diagnosed with dyslexia and bipolar disorder, and with traits of ADHD, dyspraxia, and auditory processing disorder (APD), Catrina brings a rare and powerful blend of lived experience and professional insight to her work.
With over 27 years of pupil-facing experience as a qualified special needs teacher, SENCO/ALNCO, and advisory teacher, she understands the real-world challenges educators face. Her approach is practical, empathetic, and rooted in the belief that small changes can lead to big transformations in behaviour, attendance, and academic outcomes for students of all neurotypes.
Through Neuroteachers, Catrina and her team deliver impactful training, mentoring, and coaching, driving culture change across educational and workplace settings. She has also worked closely with parent carer organisations throughout her career and is a passionate advocate for co-production ensuring families and educators work together to build inclusive, empowering environments for every learner.
