FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is pioneering the next step in inclusion by creating the country's first Neurodiversity Specialists.
They'll be focusing on supporting students who are neurodiverse, or those who may not think, learn, or express themselves in the "typical" way. Think those on the autism spectrum or those with dyslexia.
Instead of thinking about their education in terms of what they can’t do, FCPS is working to adapt to their strengths.
