| Original uncertainty examples | Can we develop a programme for education of educators about best practices for educating children with neurodevrlopmental conditions? ~ How the school system can provide better access to intervention that is more tailored to individual needs? ~ Why isn't there more expertise and awareness in the school system on neurodevelopmental disorders? ~ What can be done to better support teachers in schools?
