Noticing and Classroom Strategies – Part 2

Inclusive support does not always require a formal diagnosis or additional resources. Small, thoughtful changes in classroom organisation, communication, and access to learning can make a significant difference for neurodivergent students.

In this lesson, you'll explore practical, low-resource strategies to support students' organisation and attention, use neurodiversity-affirming language, and provide flexible ways for students to access learning. The session highlights how clear communication, reduced cognitive load, visual and written supports, and flexibility can help create a more accessible learning environment.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Use simple strategies to support students' organisation and attention.

• Apply neurodiversity-affirming language in everyday classroom interactions.

• Reduce unnecessary cognitive and time-related pressure on students.

• Provide flexible ways for students to access and engage with learning.

• Identify classroom adjustments that can be implemented without requiring a formal diagnosis.
