Help students with Neurodiversity to thrive academically and socially using these 10 effective, personalised strategies that leverage their strengths, provide clear expectations, and offer meaningful rewards.

1. Take photos of the student demonstrating the desired behaviour and use them as a visual reminder at the top of their token board.
2. Break tasks into smaller, achievable parts and ensure the student gets to experience completion.
3. Set specific, personalised academic goals with the student and their family, such as aiming for 60% in English.
4. Show work samples at the target level so the student has a clear visual of expectations.
5. Use the student’s special interest to teach concepts across subject areas, no matter how unique.
6. Implement token boards with 5 tokens the student can earn toward a motivating reward.
7. Provide rewards at designated times, such as 5 minutes before recess, lunch, or the end of the day.
8. Create consistency between home and school by using a signature system in the student’s agenda to earn rewards like video game time.
9. Reward students for practicing skills like asking peers for help, not just mastery.
10. Observe the student during free time to identify motivating rewards, such as looking out the window.
