🧠 ⁉ Are we contributing to executive dysfunction while 'educating' our neurodivergent Young People's brains?
Brain development, neuroplasticity, plus this graph would suggest so.

Our brains grow to fit the environment they are experiencing, setting our children up to fail, sets them up to fail again.

Both statistically in the moment, and possibly impacting their execuive functioning for life.

I would ask this: Knowing that neurodivergent Young People receive so many pieces of corrective feedback, attempt and can fail repeatedly both in assumed appropriate tasks based on class year, and just to be accepted and 'fit in' - how much of the dopaminergic activity deficit measured in ADHD brains for example, is possibly a result of growing-up with this repeated pattern of 'failing'?
