Transitions are challening for neurodivergent children. This talk focuses on practical ways to support neurodivergent children — particularly those with ADHD — in managing transitions within the school environment. The strategies shared are flexible and can also be adapted to support smoother transitions at home.
This session aims to:
Explain how motivation, values, and behaviour influence student engagement and learning.
Define the difference between 'sustain' and 'change' talk.
Explore issues with engagement and starting tasks.
By the end of this session you will:
Be more able to avoid the “righting reflex” and use more supportive, student-centred approaches.
Be more able to identify common issues with transitions and use effective techniques to support smoother movement between tasks and activities.
