About the Book

Neurodivergent students of color are often overlooked, as research and teaching strategies predominantly focus on white males in the classroom. How can we help teachers reach all students to honor their full humanity, and to understand how ableism – neuronormativity in particular – and racism intersect on our bodies and brains? JPB Gerald’s fascinating book offers a blend of narrative and interviews to show what would help neurodivergent students of color feel more supported and cared for in schools, and to demonstrate how much better their lives could be when they feel that love. Each chapter covers a common trait among neurodivergent students, and concludes with takeaways and approaches for supporting our youth in the classroom. Turning from a deficit-based look to a strength-based one, JPB helps us see how NDSOC students think and learn differently, and how we can do right by them, supporting them more effectively in the classroom and beyond.

JPB Gerald is an adult educator and theorist, and a 2022 graduate of the EdD program in Instructional Leadership from CUNY – Hunter College, USA.

Review :
Embracing the Exceptions is a MUST-READ for all educators and adults who teach or live with those who learn and perceive the world differently. The personal narratives in this book critique most existing practices and offer clarity on how we create educational spaces that honor neurodivergent individuals and help them flourish. This work is an urgent call to action, challenging all of us to rethink our roles as educators, caregivers, and community members in the pursuit of a more inclusive, understanding world. —Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz Professor, Teachers College, Columbia University Author, Advancing Racial Literacies in Teacher Education: Activism for Equity in Digital Spaces
