Some days #anxiety is dominating my ability to function & I need extra time to #transition from home.

If I am #Neurodivergent, where I sit in the class may affect my ability to learn. I may prefer to sit at the back, in a corner, by a wall, a trusted friend, near natural light or away from a radiator.

You won’t know unless you ask me.

Language is so important. It’s about effort made first and foremost.

Remember to support their challenges so learners feel confident enough to even try.

Remind them of their strengths.
