Structured Coaching Frameworks for Inclusive and Personalized Education: Empowering Neurodivergent Learners

Abstract

This chapter explores the importance of empowering neurodivergent learners through coaching psychology, focusing on structured frameworks that promote inclusive and personalised education. Acknowledging the unique cognitive, emotional, and social profiles of autistic individuals, ADHDers, dyslexics, and others, the chapter emphasises the necessity for tailored approaches that recognise each learner's strengths and challenges. Educators and coaches can cultivate an environment that encourages self- efficacy, goal- setting, and resilience by integrating coaching frameworks such as the GROW model, CLEAR model, Solution- Focused Coaching, and Motivational Interviewing. This inclusive approach shifts the focus from deficits to strengths, allowing neurodivergent individuals to thrive academically and personally. Through evidence- based practices and a commitment to celebrating neurodiversity, the chapter advocates for a learning landscape where every learner can achieve their full potential, fostering a culture of appreciation and acceptance within educational settings
