ARTICLE 🚨Thrilled to share my piece in the Bulletin. Inclusion in legal education isn’t just about fairness — it’s about reshaping the future of our profession. A more accessible law school means a stronger, more diverse, and more just legal system. www.lawsocietysa.asn.au/Bulletin/Con...

Supporting neurodivergent students in law By empowering students to build their skills in an environment that respects their individuality, we create pathways for greater academic success and wellbeing, writes Dr Peta Spyrou.

I wrote for Lawyers Weekly on supporting neurodivergent law students. Using MTSS, I advocate for universal + targeted support beyond disclosure-based "reasonable adjustments" 🔗 Article: www.lawyersweekly.com.au/careers/4136...

Thank you for the support, C. I’m sorry too for your/your family’s experience. You’ve hit the nail on the head. Trust is key and have heard many stories where families have resorted to home schooling but if our schools aren’t inclusive, we won’t have an inclusive society

Thank you 🙏

Thrilled to share my op ed. I explore how schools navigate complaints about disability discrimination—an issue that directly impacts fairness, accessibility, and inclusion in education.

Sharing my paper co-authored w Dr Clausen. Through thematic analysis, we examine how ADR impacts parents and practitioners in #disability discrimination #education complaints, revealing challenges like power imbalances and unmet expectations www.unswlawjournal.unsw.edu.au/article/disa...

The passage of the Bill has failed to adhere to basic standards of scrutiny. It removes foundational rights of children entering the criminal justice system. It suspends Qld’s own Human Rights Act. Its provisions are not based on evidence, but on a desire for punishment - per the Minister.
