Responding to Neurodivergence in the Mainstream Classroom – How Play Bridges the Gap

Join us for an engaging and practical webinar exploring how play-based approaches can help meet the needs of neurodivergent learners in the mainstream classroom. As teachers, we often face the tension between curriculum expectations and the diverse ways our students process, communicate, and understand the world.

In this session, we’ll look at how playful, flexible, and student-led learning can create inclusive spaces where neurodivergent children feel safe, valued, and able to thrive. We’ll discuss common challenges teachers face, share research-informed strategies, and highlight ways play can support executive function, sensory regulation, social connection, and authentic engagement.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore inclusive practice, or looking for new ideas to strengthen what you already do, this webinar offers a supportive, down-to-earth space to reflect, learn, and gather practical tools.

Who it’s for: Classroom teachers, support staff, leaders, and anyone interested in strengthening their inclusive practice.
