In this episode, we put the spotlight on undiagnosed social/emotional disability. We’ll explore how this broad category of disability can impact a student’s overall classroom and functional learning experience. Undiagnosed social/emotional disabilities can present differently in each student, but there are key signs that schools can look out for to assess whether a student is exhibiting evidence of a social/emotional disability.  

You’ll meet clinical psychologist Jane Carmignani. She discusses some of the classroom adjustments that can be made to assist students with undiagnosed social/emotional disability who are often in ‘fight-or-flight’ mode. As a proudly autistic man, founder and Chief Enabling Officer of the I CAN Network, Chris Varney shares his personal and professional experience of the impact that social/emotional disability can have on students. He offers suggestions on how schools can better support them. Inclusive education specialist and teacher Claire Jackson shares ways to gather evidence and data to ensure students are given the right level of adjustments.
