North Hills High School Neurodiversity Panel spreads inclusivity to younger peers

Students from the high school’s Neurodiversity Panel visited fourth grade classrooms at Highcliff Elementary School on Thursday, Nov. 7. The Neurodiversity Panel is a student-led group that aims to educate peers on inclusion and neurodiversity, which is the idea that people's brains work in different ways, and that there is no one right way to think, learn or behave.

Students taught three 20-minute interactive lessons that focused on that concept and that differences are to be celebrated and not considered deficits. The Neurodiversity Panel is led Mr. King and Ms. Busch. Visits are planned to McIntyre, West View and Ross elementary schools in the coming weeks.
