It can feel challenging being in a mainstream classroom and having to support neurodivergent students. Today, Dr. Tara Williams shares what she’s learned as a professor and an academic executive functioning coach and will help you to support your neurodivergent students in your classroom in a way that isn’t overwhelming or stressful.
3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Doing something for a neurodivergent student can also be done for your neurotypical students.
- Supporting neurodivergent students doesn't need to be an added stressor for teachers; there are ways to support that don't require a ton of extra work.
- When neurodivergent students are acting out, it's usually not because they're trying to misbehave -- it's usually an issue of understanding what needs to be done next.
