Continuing our work in this area, Paul Morrow, one of our Assistant Headteachers, recently attended the NSEAD Special Interest Group on Anti-Ableist Pedagogy and subsequently wrote this article for AD Magazine, drawing on themes from his book, Cultural Inclusion for Young People with SEND: Practical Strategies for Meaningful Inclusion in Arts and Culture. 

The article explores the relationship between contemporary art practice and inclusive pedagogy. It is worth noting that anti-ableist pedagogy is an umbrella term encompassing a range of approaches to challenging ableism, whereas neuro-affirming practice refers more specifically to approaches relating to autism and neurodiversity.
