Neurodiversity reading lists: These lists were developed for educators and are included in the LEANS teacher handbook, but may be useful for anyone interested in learning more about neurodiversity, or deepening your understanding if you have already been introduced to the topic. They include a mix of free and paid resources—don’t forget to check for the listed books in your local library!

Even more Neurodiversity at School: Resource suggestions from the community: A crowdsourced list of resources relevant to neurodiversity, collected in 2020-2021. It includes a mixture of formats, and paid/free items. The list focused on resources for primary-aged children, but also include ones of interest to teachers and parents. If you are looking for resources focusing on specific diagnoses (e.g. a child-friendly book on dyslexia), you may find one here!

Lists of support organisations for young people and families
These primarily include organisations relevant to neurodiversity (for example, those focusing on dyslexia, autism, and other diagnoses), and those focused on education, disability, children, families, and wellbeing. There are separate lists for organisations based in the UK, and those based in the Republic of Ireland. These lists aren’t exhaustive—they are meant to be a place to start if you are looking for information or support.
