A story I think is important, shared as part of my role in The Autism and Neurodiversity MasterClass. It was one of those valuable moments of progress in special education that was NOT all fluffy and inspirational. A 12-year-old student was in the middle of ranting to a colleague of mine about how much he didn't like the school. As part of it, he said the sentence: "I haven't even learned anything here! All I've learned is that I don't have to run away!" Leaving academic issues aside, sometimes THAT is what progress looks like. It's not always pretty, but it's always progress. The boy who never settled anywhere in mainstream education came to our school, then no longer felt the need to flee when he struggled. And frankly, there IS an element of academic progress there too. Because this is what schools often get wrong when they prioritise attendance over wellbeing: that **young people don't learn in environments where they don't feel safe**. Even if you were to leave aside the importance of student wellbeing (for some reason), the best way of helping a child to make academic progress is to ensure a sense of safety. Do you want your neurodivergent students to learn about Shakespeare, compound interest, and what a mitochondria is? Start off by creating an environment they won't run away from.

Self-Determination: The Key to Unlocking Sensory Well-being ??? Empowering autistic students to make choices, express their needs, and advocate for themselves is foundational to their sensory well-being. It's about recognising autonomy. When we listen to young people and honour their preferences, we create a sense of safety and control. This allows them to focus on learning, growth and thriving in an educational system that too often overlooks their needs. Hope you can join me at the ROCT Conference CYPF24 for my presentation on this topic #SensoryWellbeing #Autism #SelfDetermination #Education #Inclusion

?? Autism Acceptance Month: Did you know that only 26% of autistic individuals feel happy at school? This statistic sheds light on the challenges many face in educational environments. Throughout Autism Acceptance Month, it's imperative that we strive to establish inclusive settings where every autistic student feels supported, understood, and valued. It's vital to acknowledge that traditional educational structures may not always meet the diverse needs of autistic individuals. By promoting acceptance and understanding, we can cultivate environments that celebrate neurodiversity and accommodate various learning styles. Our goal should be to foster schools where autistic students feel at ease, where their strengths are acknowledged, and where they are empowered to flourish. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and ensure that every autistic individual has the opportunity to experience happiness and success in their educational journey. ?? At Limitless Learners, we believe in providing a supportive space for every learner’s journey. We offer soft skills development courses and specialised academic tutoring, focusing on the education of neurodivergent learners. ????

#studentvoice #studentmatters Such an interesting and insightful story on the lived experience of neurodiverse students with schooling. Students with diversity remind us to consider different perspectives and alternative ways of presenting and assessing what they know and can do. What inclusive improvements are you creating in your school? #inclusion #inclusiveeducation #autism #continuousimprovement #education #innovation #improvement

Keeping an open line of communication with your child’s teacher is vital to his development & academic success. Here's 5 tips- 1 Introduce yourself When you meet your child’s teacher for the first time, let the teacher know that you’d like to set up a system of regular communication. Make it clear that you would like to form an effective partnership to help your child with autism succeed. A routine exchange of goals, methods used, progress & concerns about your child will help you and his teacher form a bond centered on your child’s well-being. 2 Find the best method of communication & stick with it. Teachers are busy & often overloaded with responsibilities. Ask your child’s teacher how he or she prefers to communicate. If you let your child’s teacher choose what’s most convenient, you’re more likely to receive consistent communication. Agree whether emails, written notes, a daily log, phone calls or in-person meetings work best. 3 Plan ahead Before a meeting or written exchange, take the time to think through your specific needs, concerns & questions. Ask about your child’s favorite subjects, current trouble areas & interactions with classmates. Ask what the teacher would like for you to work on at home with your child. Keep the teacher informed of any major changes in your child’s home life.

I AM NOT AN INTROVERT - DON'T FORCE IT ON ME.... As a child, everyone assumed I was either gentle or an introvert. I was always withdrawn from everyone both at home and in school. I preferred to be on my own, not even with my siblings. So it was assumed that I was either gentle or an introvert. Deep down there were words unsaid and emotions unexpressed. Due to having a learning difficulty and the shame that comes with it, I usually felt unworthy of expressing my emotions, thoughts and ideas. Instead, I chose to keep quiet. Due to the ways and number of times I had been ridiculed, I felt I did not have a right to talk among normal children. The fear of doing it wrong again made me not want to try. Mum was constantly bothered and always sat with me deliberately engaging me in conversations. I also had two teachers in primary school who made me feel so special despite my learning difficulty. With them, I freely expressed myself too. What happened when they left the school? I returned to being quiet. So I was not an introvert neither was I gentle with my parents or these two teachers, Why? They simply made me feel special by treating me as one who did not have a learning issue. Research has shown that some dyslexic people may be introverted due to their learning differences and the social challenges that come with it. So a teacher or parent might want to check today and be sure if that child struggling with a learning disability is actually introverted and not a forced introvert. Late Starters Educational Foundation strives to bring children with learning disabilities out of their shells by especially visiting them in school, engaging in conversations at their levels and showing them love and support, with the hope that they find their voices again! #LearningDisabilityAwareness #earlychildhoodeducation #sdg4qualityeducation #inclusivelearning #thebgsmadebydyslexia #teachersupport #parentsupport #schools #AfricanChildren #latestartersfoundation #antipatemyfirsrbook

A great question: How do international schools provide?#?inclusion?well for neurodivergent students? For children with dyslexia, this means Tier 1 instruction provides time for differentiated Word Recognition work using decodables and Language Comprehension instruction using audiobooks or books read aloud. Children are able to access the content of the instruction through resources at their developmental level.
