We're excited to announce the upcoming publication of On the Same Wavelength: Neurodiversity, Memory, Learning, and the Autism Spectrum by Dr Nola Norris with Dr Perry Shaw.
Discover how students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) think and learn differently in this groundbreaking guide for educators. Drawing from extensive research and firsthand accounts, the book introduces the innovative Thinking, Memory, and Learning Framework (TML), empowering teachers to become cross-cultural interpreters between neurotypical and neurodivergent minds.
Through a unique blend of neuroscience, psychology and lived experience, this book challenges traditional teaching approaches and offers practical insights for creating hospitable learning environments that honour cognitive diversity. Whether you're a classroom teacher, school leader or education professional, you'll gain valuable tools for understanding and supporting students with ASD, while learning how to build bridges between different ways of thinking and learning.
Dr Nola Norris brings unique insight to this work, combining her extensive educational experience with personal understanding gained through her husband's diagnosis with Asperger syndrome. Dr Perry Shaw contributes his significant expertise in education and curriculum development, creating a powerful collaboration that bridges theory and practice.
This essential resource transforms complex research into actionable strategies for inclusive education. Perfect for classroom teachers, school leaders, education professionals and families, it offers clear, evidence-based approaches to support students with ASD while challenging traditional assumptions about teaching and learning.
Coming soon to Amba Press and all good bookstores in March 2025.
