Neurodiversity, School and Me - Erin's Story

Latest News Picks

Available for over a year

The Covid lockdowns disrupted school for children across the UK, and for neurodiverse children like Erin, the impact is still being felt four years on. In this episode of our 5 Minutes On podcast, BBC Health Reporter Lucy Watkinson spends time at a school in Odham to see how pupils are coping. She meets Erin, who before Covid was happy at school, and thrived when pupils had to work in small groups known as "bubbles". But now, she struggles to cope with the sounds and sights of school in a post-Covid world.
