Session 4 - Creating the Neurodiversity affirming classroom
In this session, Amy will provide a practical, up to date informative webinar on the history of ND affirming practice and its impact on how we connect with autistic pupils. Amy will provide practical resources that are in line with the ND affirming approach, which you can easily incorporate into your classwide resources. You will learn how to create a 'Classroom Audit' which is a practical guide to ensure you have a tool to help you follow to implement the ideas we will discuss. You will finalise your 'Communication Profile' and use this tool alongside your 'Classroom Audit' to create useful guides for you to use in your classroom.
