About this course

A SENCO can't sit in every lesson. Students who need adjustments depend on colleagues who are busy, sometimes out of date on ADHD or autism, and not always keen on another round of training.

An experienced SENCO and school leader offers a way in. Three principles frame neurodiversity as something that makes a school stronger, not a list of deficits. Some myth-busting on ADHD, autism and specific learning difficulties shows experienced staff there's still something new to learn. And a four-part check (sensory, emotional, relationships, structure) helps teachers work out adjustments with a student rather than guessing, like moving a seat away from a buzzing strip light.

Hiding difficulties takes a student a huge amount of energy. You'll see how a trusting relationship helps them move from masking to managing.
