Study skills and revision techniques for neurodivergent learners

Many neurodivergent learners have challenges with learning about and initiating study skills, particularly independently. These challenges can include regulating the attentional system, building routines and structures for independent study and, of course, encoding information into long term memory through revision. This session will explore ways in which we can support these students.

The session will cover:

A brief overview of the challenges faced
Strategies to support executive functioning
Strategies to support memory

Suitable for: Secondary and Post-16

Please note this session will not be recorded.
