Flexibility & Neurodivergent Learners (Quarter 3)
Summertime can be a lot of fun but it offers challenges in helping our learners navigate new experiences and how to be flexible with those changes. So let’s dive into how we can support flexibility with our learners with new experiences, preparing for a new school year & how to help with new learning & road blocks as the school year begins. You can’t predict everything, but at least you can have some tools in your toolbox to help.
Helping Our Learners With Transitions On The Go
Transitions happen wherever you are. It’s inevitable. Instead of worrying about the transitions that could pop up, we can approach them with a toolbox of strategies and the confidence knowing we know how to support our learners.
Navigating Unexpected Transitions for Neurodivergent Learners & Families
Much like building a structure or working on a project, you wouldn’t start without the necessary tools. The same rules apply for you when unexpected situations arise. You want to have a “transition toolbox” filled with strategies and go-to items that provide your learner with support when things pop up.
Supporting Learners Through Predictable Transitions
Predictable transitions have a rhythm all their own, one we are familiar with or at least have somewhat of an understanding for what the activity entails. Even if its our first time going to a location (for example a vacation to a new location) you have a general idea of what will happen with traveling and arriving to the destination.
Transitions for Neurodivergent Learners (Quarter 2)
Transitions are a natural part of life but can be really challenging for our learners to navigate. So what do we do? Let’s go over different types of transitions from predictable transitions to unexpected transitions, and transitions on-the-go. You can’t predict everything, but at least you can have some tools in your toolbox to help.
