Boston University
Dr. Sara Rodrigues’ book, "Embracing Neurodiversity: A Social Work Approach to Building Inclusive Schools," advocates for a human rights-based, social work approach to support neurodivergent students in education. It challenges traditional compliance models and promotes inclusive environments through strengths-based, trauma-informed strategies that recognize neurodivergent learners as experts in their own experience. The book provides practical solutions to improve classroom inclusion, suggest policy reforms, and foster partnerships between families and educators.
