I work in primary education and am using Twitter to broaden my knowledge of neurodiverse learners and ways to provide positive & inclusive learning experiences.
@ohlson_michelle An interesting read. Covid has a played big part in the statistics but there are so many other ongoing issues that have always been underlying reasons and concerns for absenteeism. Let'sprovide our kids with inclusive environments that support them and them want to come to sch.๐
Today I discovered that a student that I am working with has dysgraphia. This is a learning difference that I know little about and wish to delve deeper into. Any more information and guidance would be appreciated. #dysgraphia#learningdifferences#RTLBNZ#inclusiveeducation
I have begun an incredible learning journey into the world of #ADHD My page thus far has a lot of information to share with others to hopefully help others also. This will continue as I now explore other learning differences. #Learningdiffernces#RTLBNZ#UDL#inclusiveeducation
I highly recommend you watch this. What an inspiring young woman. To hear her perspective truly touched my heart. #adhd#adhdclassroom#rtlbnz

This is an awesome idea. I can see this also being used well in the classroom, and by parents and caregivers. Children can see the amount of time they have rather than trying to grapple with an abstract concept. #adhdtips#rtlbnz#inclusiveeducation#UDL
I will be sharing this with some of my teachers to see how they find it in their classes. After briefly having a go on it I would suggest checking the alarm setting to ensure that your sound-sensitive students can cope with the different noises. #adhd#rtlbnz#udl
@MissKing2022 Thanks for following me @MissKing2022 I am an experienced teacher and will be happy to share anything I come across on this journey of learning. Be sure to take visit my page @Magda1NZ where there are hints and information about how to support students with ADHD.
I found this a powerful video. Celina just wants her daughter to be happy and not defined by her ODD: Raising a Child with ODD and ADHD https://t.co/3RUkIECWZ6 via @YouTube
The stress and strain on a parent having a child who has Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) must be huge. Not only dealing with the immediate challenges of dealing with a defiant child but also dealing with the social judgments made by others about their parenting. #ADHD#ODD
Due to misdiagnosis, those with ADHD are often being diagnosed with mental health conditions. An interesting watch about Chloe Swarbrick's journey to being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. #ADHDNZ

This article certainly highlights some shortfalls in the services provided to diagnose ADHD and support those with ADHD in New Zealand. So many people are slipping through the cracks with varying consequences. This is an interesting read. #ADHDinNZ
From struggling kids to out-of-control teens and desperate adults, New Zealand's ADHD community is in crisis. Why is it so hard for them to get help that some are resorting to TikTok for medical advice? Anusha Bradley reports. https://t.co/BCFAcchCs3
The Adventures of You. The introduction to a 3 part series of what Executive Functions are. I will certainly be sharing this with the students and teachers I work with. https://t.co/u5F7aiGfJb
