?It makes a convincing, hopeful and original read for all academic
lecturing staff, managers and policy makers.? (The Skill
Journal )
"The increasing numbers of neurodiverse students in HE raises many
issues. A book which focuses on the positive, both in terms of the
changes that have taken place in recent years and the exciting and
challenging possibilities for change in the future, is therefore
both timely and welcome. The book covers a wide range of topics,
the student viewpoint is clearly presented throughout and the
majority of contributors have personal experiences of
neurodiversity in HE. All of this combines to produce a powerful
and pertinent contribution to the debate and it should be required
reading for all those who make decisions that affect the lives of
students in HE."
