Alexandra Burke

Learning differences affect how students learn, study, express and organise themselves: what suits a neurotypical student, could be a barrier to a neurodiverse one. In this session, we will cover what it’s like to have dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, dyspraxia, autism, and differences in vision, and small changes in teaching practices that can help all your students. Learning differences affect about 10% or more of the population, so you probably have one or more neurodiverse students in your class now. Bring your question and let’s talk.

Alexandra Burke has taught all levels of Japanese public education system from kindergarten to university since 2005. Her professional background is public policy research. Alex has been working with teachers on how to help neurodiverse students in the mainstream classroom context. She has presented within Japan and also overseas.
