Unseen Struggles: The Surprising Link Between Pain And Neurodivergence (With Jane Green)

About this episode

What if neurodivergent students' behaviours were actually signals of physical pain?

In this thought-provoking episode, Jane Green, MBE, a passionate advocate for neurodivergent individuals, explains the surprising connection between physical pain and neurodivergence in young people.

Jane explains how physical symptoms, like fatigue and chronic pain, can impact classroom behaviour, performance and attendance, and urges educators to consider these unseen factors when supporting neurodivergent students.
