Neurodivergent learners (autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, etc.) process information differently. Inclusive teaching benefits all students—not separate strategies, but universal design for learning.

Australian Curriculum value: Inclusion and diversity are key learning goals. Teachers create inclusive environments where all students can participate meaningfully.

Pro tip: Ask students how they learn best. Neurodivergent individuals often know their own needs. Build agency and self-advocacy into support strategies.
