Most teachers want to support their neurodivergent students better, AND most of them have never been told that some of the biggest barriers are sitting right above or in front of them 📚
Fluorescent lighting, fixed seating options, and fidgets locked in a drawer are three of the most common sensory obstacles in a classroom 💡
These supports came directly from my clinical experience, and I want every teacher to know about them because small environment shifts make an ENORMOUS difference to how neurodivergent students are able to show up, focus, and regulate throughout the day ☀️
And a calmer classroom is a better classroom for every student in it, not just the ones with a diagnosis 🌀
Pick one and try it this week, tell me in the comments which one you’re starting with 👇
Everything I share here is drawn from my clinical experience as a speech pathologist and my own lived experience as a neurodivergent person. It’s my perspective, shared to spark conversation, and isn’t a substitute for direct therapeutic advice.
