Secondary science & maths classrooms as neuroinclusive environments

This research focuses on the best environment for neurodivergent students, introducing the idea of educational niche analysis – a framework for designing ‘better-fitting’ learning environments. Through undertaking case studies in an alternative provision setting, the researchers were able to trial classroom adaptations in science and maths, analysing learning environments for comfort, capability and connection. They conclude that truly inclusive practice is about partnering with students to design environments that work for them.

In this video Principal Investigators Carla Finesilver and Jonathan Berliner discuss the project.

Funded by the , the Neurodiversity in Mainstream Schools Grant Programme brought together four major research projects, each exploring different aspects of effective support. Together, their findings provide schools, policymakers and practitioners with practical, evidence-informed guidance to better support inclusion, engagement and life chances.
