In today's diverse secondary classrooms, understanding and supporting neurodiverse learners isn't optional—it's essential. With ADHD affecting 11.4% of students globally and autism diagnoses now at 1 in 36, every secondary teacher works with neurodiverse students daily. Yet many educators feel underprepared to meet these students' unique needs effectively.
This comprehensive presentation bridges that gap.
 
Designed specifically for secondary school leaders and teachers, this presentation provides a robust foundation in understanding how neurodiversity manifests during the critical adolescent years. You'll discover why the teenage brain's significant restructuring creates unique challenges for neurodiverse students and how executive function difficulties, social complexities, and sensory processing differences impact learning in secondary settings.
 
What Makes This Training Different:
Unlike generic professional development, this presentation focuses exclusively on the secondary context, recognizing that adolescent neurodiversity presents distinctly different challenges than primary settings. Drawing on current research from 2022-2025, including global case studies from Finland, Singapore, Japan, and beyond, you'll gain evidence-based strategies proven to work across diverse cultural contexts.
