Learning About Neurodiversity at School (LEANS) is a programme for mainstream primary schools to introduce pupils aged 8-11 years to the concept of neurodiversity, and how it impacts our experiences at school.
Developed by a neurodiverse team of researchers and educators, LEANS is a multi-session curriculum, with a mix of hands-on activities, storytelling and factual resources, introducing the concept of neurodiversity and how it is relevant to pupils’ schools and lives.
The LEANS project is based within the Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre at the University of Edinburgh.
