The Impact:

Approximately 1 in 5 students in the United States is neurodivergent, including those with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and other learning differences.
Neurodivergent students are up to three times more likely to face academic and social challenges in traditional classrooms.
Studies show that teachers who receive training in evidence-based models like TBRI® (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) report significantly improved classroom management and student relationships.
Schools implementing TBRI® strategies have noted up to a 32% decrease in disciplinary referrals and a marked increase in positive student-teacher interactions.
Evidence shows that classrooms using inclusive practices see higher overall student engagement and improved peer relationships for both neurodivergent and neurotypical students.
