Twelve evidence-based, low-cost strategies for teachers and teaching assistants who want to make their classrooms work better for neurodivergent learners, without waiting for whole-school change or a diagnosis. Grouped into four themes: language, environment, time, and task structure.
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
- Use plain language and processing time to reduce confusion and pressure
- Respond to dysregulation in ways that calm rather than escalate
- Audit your environment to reduce sensory overload and cognitive clutter
- Use routines, visible time, and transition scripts to reduce anxiety
- Support task initiation through chunking, modelling, and structured starting points
