As the final instalment of our series on teaching neurodiverse students, this manual provides specific, workable strategies for ensuring that ADHD, Autism Spectrum and Dyslexic students are catered for and addressed in everyday classrooms. Using these tactics will ensure that even undiagnosed students receive the best education style for their needs.

This manual is provided in both PDF and Google Doc formats (over 100 pages). Unlike a physical book, you can copy, customise and share pages or the entire script with any teacher in your school and always have it available for new staff.

Whether you’re a seasoned educator looking to enhance your teaching tools or a novice teacher eager to learn effective approaches for supporting neurodiverse learners, this resource is written to meet your needs.
