Aligned with the latest DfE and EEF standards, this primary package helps you build an inclusive, neuro-affirming culture from the earliest years. It saves you time and gives your team the confidence to support neurodivergent children consistently across the school day, from the classroom to the corridor and playground.

About this training

This training helps your primary school move beyond surface compliance towards a culture where every neurodivergent child feels they belong and matter. It takes a strengths-based approach and keeps neurodiversity connected to your wider inclusion agenda, rather than treating it as a separate initiative.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Recognise how neurodivergent profiles present in the primary years, focusing on need and strengths rather than labels
  • Understand executive function and self-regulation in young children, and how the classroom environment can help or hinder
  • Account for intersecting identities and needs, so no child is missed because they do not fit a single picture of neurodivergence
  • Use responsive, adaptive teaching and predictable routines that reduce barriers across the school day
  • Share responsibility for inclusion across the whole team, from teachers and teaching assistants to lunchtime and office staff
