The NEUROiNCLUSIVE Transition

The Neuroinclusive Transition

Understanding Neurodivergent Learners & Preparing for the 2027 School Year

What if we spent less time asking whether children are ready for school, and more time asking whether our schools are ready to understand them?

As we head towards another school year, many families are already thinking about what the transition might look like for their child.

For some, it’s starting Kindy or Prep. For others, it’s moving into a new classroom, meeting a new teacher, changing schools or navigating another year in an environment that hasn’t always understood their needs.

And there’s so much more to consider than routines and school supplies!

Sensory processing, executive functioning, communication differences, PDA and demand sensitivity, masking and fluctuating capacity can all influence how a child experiences school.

Sometimes a child knows exactly what needs to happen but can’t get started. Sometimes a child appears to be coping beautifully at school but comes home completely overwhelmed. And sometimes the things adults interpret as avoidance or unwillingness are actually telling us something important about the child’s experience.

So how do we better understand these experiences, and what can we do differently?

Join me for a two-hour, neurodivergent-led online workshop where we’ll explore practical ways to support neurodivergent children as they transition into the 2027 school year.

What we’ll cover

• Understanding the neurodivergent learner: Sensory processing, executive functioning, PDA and demand sensitivity, communication, masking and fluctuating capacity.

• The demands we don’t always see: How classrooms, playgrounds, routines, expectations and transitions can affect a child’s capacity to participate.

• Practical supports and adjustments: Ways to make learning environments more accessible, responsive and inclusive.

• Working together: How families and educators can share information, identify priorities and develop meaningful supports for individual children.

Introducing NeuroPrint!

I’ve also developed something that I’m really looking forward to sharing.

NeuroPrint is a neurodivergent-led learning and support profiling tool designed to help parents and educators build a clearer picture of a child’s individual needs.

One of the things I regularly see is parents finding it a challenge to put everything they know about their child into words, particularly when they’re trying to communicate with a new teacher or support team.

At the same time, educators are often working with limited time and need information that’s clear, relevant and practical.

NeuroPrint is designed to help bridge that gap.

During the workshop, I’ll show you how to develop a personalised NeuroPrint using our Support Needs Bank, which includes areas such as sensory processing, executive functioning, communication, demand sensitivity, regulation, autonomy and fluctuating capacity.

We’ll look at how to identify the most important supports for your child and communicate these in a way that can help inform reasonable adjustments, individual learning plans and school transition planning.

You’ll receive the NeuroPrint template, Support Needs Bank and supporting resources to work through at your own pace.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is open to parents, caregivers, teachers, teacher aides, early childhood educators and other professionals supporting neurodivergent children.

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to attend. If you’re exploring neurodivergence or simply wanting to better understand a child’s learning and support needs, you’re welcome.

NDIS & Capacity Building

This workshop is designed to build parent and caregiver knowledge and skills in supporting a child’s disability-related needs, including communication, emotional regulation, independence and participation.

NDIS funding may be available where parent or caregiver training is an appropriate funded support under your child’s plan and meets applicable guidelines. Please confirm eligibility before booking.

Can’t make it live?

I know December is a busy time, so everyone who registers will receive access to the recording until 28 February 2027.

That means you can watch it when it suits you, revisit the information once school starts, and take your time working through your NeuroPrint resources.

Neurodivergent-led education | Creating the conditions for inclusion.

I’d love for parents and educators to head into 2027 with a better understanding of the children they’re supporting, and some practical tools to help make that transition a little more responsive to their individual needs.
