Description

This workshop explores the transition to secondary school for neurodivergent students, focusing on early preparation, personalised support, and neuroaffirmative approaches. We discuss common challenges such as navigating new environments, social changes, and increased academic demands. The session highlights the importance of avoiding labels like “high functioning” or “low functioning,” and instead understanding each child’s unique needs.

Key topics include creating pupil passports, maintaining peer connections, arranging extra school visits, communicating with SEND teams, and advocating for reasonable adjustments. Parents will gain practical strategies to support a smoother, more confident transition for their child.
