Neurodivergence in the Classroom

The diverse perspectives and strengths of neurodivergent students can enrich your classroom and inspire your teaching. However, neurodivergence also comes with a unique set of challenges. You might encounter differences in learning styles, sensory sensitivities, social communication challenges, and unexpected behaviours. 

In Nurturing Neurodivergence in the Classroom, Dr Justin Coulson will help you:

  • Better understand neurodivergence: Gain deeper insights into the experiences of students with autism and ADHD.
  • Celebrate unique strengths: Recognise and nurture the diverse talents and perspectives neurodivergent students bring to the classroom.
  • Adapt your teaching: Learn practical strategies to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that meets their individual needs.
  • Foster social and emotional wellbeing: Develop skills to support emotional regulation, improve communication, and build social connections.
  • Champion advocacy and collaboration: Empower students to advocate for themselves and work effectively with parents and support staff.

This presentation will equip you with the knowledge, encouragement, and strategies you need to help neurodivergent students thrive in your classroom and beyond.
