Transitioning children with neurodiversity successfully is an important part of a child’s education.

Transitioning children with neurodiversity successfully is an important part of a child’s education. With the right strategies and support, children can transition from one school to another, or from preschool to school, with ease. Parents, teachers, and aides can work together to create a successful transition plan, using transition cheat sheets, self advocacy, and calming strategies. Knowing 10 things about the child, as well as any sensory issues, can help teachers create a supportive environment for the child. Here are five tips for teachers to help children transition successfully:

1. Create a transition plan with the help of parents, teachers, and aides.
2. Use transition cheat sheets to provide key information about the child.
3. Encourage self advocacy by having the child share their needs and feelings.
4. Be aware of any sensory issues the child may have.

FOUR GREAT QUOTES FROM THIS PODCAST

1. “For me, self advocacy for kids on the spectrum is really important. I’ve got kids who’ll go up to a teacher and go, Hi, I’m Nathan, I have Asperger’s.” (00:05:48)
2. “What are the key priorities for first term? What do you think is the key priority for term one next year?”
3. “For me, sharing that can be so important, because people can’t see asthma. Or nut allergies, or ASD, or even if you have a child just have anxiety.”
4. “Can they work closely with others? Because some of them need a spare spot next to them.”
“For me, self advocacy for kids on the spectrum is really important. I’ve got kids who’ll go up to a teacher and go, Hi, I’m Nathan, I have Asperger’s. I love that. That’s no different to, Hi, I’m Nathan, I have nut allergies. Or, Hi, I’m Nathan, and I have asthma.” (00:06:04)
3. “So teachers, teacher assistants, parents, I highly recommend you download these transition cheat sheets. Just hit download. They will download as a document and then you can go in and type into them information.” (00:05:17)
4. “But we don’t want too much information. So we don’t want three different documents. Let’s just make it one concise document.” (00:05:40)
