Adjustment of the mindset

The most powerful 'reasonable adjustment' in education is free and requires no resources... it is an adjustment of mindset... we could start here:

Please normalise the following...

• Believing and supporting parents (thank you for reminding me of this crucial one).

• Saying, "I'm sorry, I zoned out, could you please repeat that" without the other party getting offended/cross.

• Scrap attendance awards.

• Provide homework clubs.

• Movement breaks.

• Sitting comfortably (that is NOT with both feet on her ground on a hard chair).

• Scrap reward charts.

• Stimming.

• Replace 'punishment' with restorative reflection and compassion.

• Not demanding eye contact as a sign of listening ... I can look at you or I can listen... I can rarely do both.

• Writing down instructions.

• Providing printouts instead of copying.

• Fidgeting.

• Doodling.

• Allowing comfortable clothing.

• Sensory integration.
