A Parent's Guide To Neurodivergence — School Accommodations Handouts

A PARENT'S GUIDE TO NEURODIVERGENCE — SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS HANDOUTS

A practical, trauma-informed set of three handouts that helps parents and school teams move from "something isn't working" to a specific, named accommodation. Built around a simple reframe: support the barrier, keep the learning goal. Covers ADHD, autism, and general learning differences in reading, writing, maths, memory and processing.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

Sectioned learning:

• ADHD at School — Accommodations That Open Access 
• Autism at School — Accommodations That Support Access 
• Learning Differences at School — Accommodations That Support Access (reading, writing, maths, memory, time).

Interactive pages:

A repeatable barrier-to-support process on every handout (Name the Barrier → Match a Support → Try It → Review the Impact), plus a closing reflection prompt on each page.

Named favourites:

• The "Support the Barrier, Keep the Learning Goal" framework 
• The Accommodation vs. Modification distinction 
• The "At the School Meeting" prep page 
• The six-category access breakdown for each topic (Directions, Environment, Time, Communication, Regulation, Show Knowledge, and more).

Client favourites:

Parents use these to walk into IEP and accommodation meetings with language already prepared, not put together on the spot.

PERFECT FOR:

Parents and caregivers preparing for school meetings, school counsellors, teachers, and support professionals working with neurodivergent children and teens. Works as a stand-alone parent resource or as a companion handout for counselling and support sessions.

DETAILS:

• Format: Printable PDF (US Letter + A4)
• Length: 3 pages
• Level: Accessible language — written for parents, useful for professionals

WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE:

A clearer, calmer way to talk about access needs — language that names the actual barrier instead of listing every possible support, so the right accommodation gets tried and reviewed instead of guessed at.
