If you're a mainstream teacher with a neurodivergent child in your class, it's understandable to feel overwhelmed when trying to meet their individual needs while supporting the rest of your pupils. This book offers straightforward, workable approaches to help you deliver inclusive, high-quality teaching that supports every learner. The strategies are designed to be realistic and manageable, without adding extra cost, complexity, or pressure to your day.
Every chapter dives into a unique, real-world scenario designed to keep your 'child in mind', bringing to life how small, thoughtful adjustments can revolutionise the classroom experience for neurodivergent learners and uplift the entire class. Whether it's fine-tuning the pace, volume, or complexity of a lesson, or rethinking how tasks are presented and assessed, this book is packed with practical strategies that boost wellbeing, enhance behaviour, and drive academic success. You'll find exemplar lesson plans, tried and tested techniques, and built-in reflection prompts to help you take action from day one.
Written in clear, jargon-free language, The Other 29 is an invaluable resource for both experienced educators and early career teachers working in primary and secondary mainstream classrooms. It will help to create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for every student in your care.
