Beyond Behaviours Series Episode 7: Whole Class Strategies for Supporting Neurodivergent Learners

In this episode, I'm talking about how to support neurodivergent learners in your classroom without having to create a hundred individual plans. Most classrooms aren't built with neurodivergence in mind. And when kids can't meet the expectations, we often fall back on the same old behaviour labels of "lazy," "disruptive," "off task." But what if it's not about the behaviour? What if it's about the environment? This episode gives you practical, realistic whole class strategies that help students who find things like noise, transitions, verbal instructions or social stuff hard,  especially kids who are autistic, ADHD, or have sensory differences. What you'll learn in this episode: What's really going on for students who "can't sit still," interrupt, or shut down Simple tweaks that make your classroom feel safer and calmer for every child What to do when kids can't start tasks or forget instructions How visuals, routines and chunking support working memory Why movement, quiet corners and regulation stations are essential What to reflect on if your classroom feels off, and where to begin It's about small, smart shifts that help all kids, not just neurodivergent ones to feel more calm, capable and connected.
