This guide provides a clear, supportive framework to help families and professionals understand what a child truly needs from their learning environment — with guided activities, reflective prompts, and practical question sheets to support informed, values-aligned decision-making.
For neurodivergent children, school can present unique challenges, including sensory overload, inconsistent social expectations, difficulty with transitions, and environments that may not accommodate differences in communication, processing, or emotional regulation. These challenges can contribute to increased anxiety, school avoidance, and a sense of not being understood.
As caregivers and clinicians, we play a crucial role in identifying the environments where children feel safe, valued, and able to engage in a way that works for them.
