Ensuring quality first teaching includes neurodiverse pupils

'These sessions help teachers grow their knowledge and confidence to support neurodiverse pupils.

Neurodiversity means that people think, learn, and process information in different ways. In this course, you will learn what it means to be neurodiverse and how this can shape a pupil’s experience in school.

The sessions explore ways to make your classroom more inclusive and responsive to diverse needs. You will examine common neurodivergent profiles, including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, with a strong focus on autism. Along the way, you’ll see how small changes can make a big difference to learning and wellbeing.

Teachers will leave with practical strategies to adapt lessons, routines, and the classroom environment. These adjustments help all pupils feel safe, valued, and ready to succeed. This course offers tools that build a culture of respect and support, giving every learner the chance to thrive.

Time - 3 hours initially and additional support as necessary
