Teaching Neurodivergent Learners in Educational Settings (TNLES) helps educators, educational assistants, support staff, and learning teams turn curriculum expectations, outcomes, competencies, and learning standards into accessible teaching and learning opportunities for neurodivergent learners. The learning series is built around one central purpose: helping educators keep learning connected to curriculum while adapting the activity, materials, pace, environment, response options, and support level to the learner’s needs.
The series uses pan-Canadian learning domains that can be adapted to any educational environment. Participants learn how curriculum language, planning processes, assessment practices, and support structures may differ, but the basic teaching question stays the same: what is the learner expected to learn, practise, understand, communicate, or demonstrate?
Through practical examples, planning templates, classroom tools, and educator handouts, participants learn how to create teaching and learning experiences that are purposeful, flexible, curriculum-connected, and responsive to the learner’s strengths and support needs.
Teaching Neurodivergent Children at Home (TNCH) is a neurodiversity-affirming and strength-based program that helps caregivers turn curriculum expectations into calm, practical, and child-centred learning at home. The course begins with foundational teaching skills, introduces caregivers to curriculum language used across Canada, and then shows how to plan, adapt, teach, and assess curriculum-connected activities in everyday home-learning routines. It is designed to help caregivers feel more confident, organized, and responsive while supporting neurodivergent children in ways that respect how they learn best.
