The findings have finally brought in a new synergy between research in education and cognitive neuroscience and empirically supported the neurodiversity movement. Recently, neurodiversity has been used as a framework for specific learning difficulties (SpLD) justice and to support dyslexia in inclusive education. This qualitative study was conducted to understand the Malaysian mainstream primary school teachers\u2019 beliefs about SpLD and the current framework for Malaysian literacy support programme. The data collection is through social media focus group discussion and individual instant messaging interviews with forty-one teachers. The findings reveal that the current programme is built on theories of remediation and that the teachers have exhibited good levels of understanding of remediation, but not yet understand neurodiversity. It makes recommendations with regard to teacher professional development.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"articleSubject\">\n<h4>Keywords<\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Dyslexia; Equal education; Literacy support programme; Mainstream primary school; Neurodiversity<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education (IJERE)<br \/>\nVol. 8, No. 4, December 2019, pp. 676~685<br \/>\nISSN: 2252-8822, DOI: 10.11591\/ijere.v8i4.20307<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neurodiversity awareness: Is Malaysia there yet?
