Are you?

  • Passing on a student with Neurodiversity to another educator next year
  • Do you know a student who will be changing teachers, classrooms, or school settings in 2026
  • Planning your staff, classes for 2026
 

Now is the time to prepare for 2026.
By joining my course, you will get the knowledge, skills and strategies to set yourself and your students up for success in 2026.

If there's even a remote possibility of having a child with Neurodiversity in your classroom next year, join me to prepare now.

Training in the first term often presents challenges:

  • Don't want a day out for training when setting up class at the start of the year.
  • Students with neurodiversity may start off dysregulated because the necessary structures and strategies are not yet in place.
  • Educators find themselves playing catch-up while addressing 'behaviours'.
  • Many educators feel overwhelmed.
