A persistent myth about bilingualism is that adults cannot properly learn new languages. On the contrary, research shows that adults are capable of achieving fluency, even when starting later in life (Garraffa, Sorace & Vender, 2020).

Neurodivergence is a widely discussed topic today, and efforts are underway to adapt social and educational environments – traditionally designed for neurotypical children – to be more inclusive. One of the key goals of inclusive education is to adjust tasks and activities so that neurodivergent children can fully participate. However, embracing neurodiversity goes beyond accommodation; it means accepting, celebrating, and supporting neurodivergent children as they are. Their differences are part of natural human variation and do not need to be fixed or changed.
