MAKING A DIFFERENCE ON INCLUSION IN YOUR SCHOOL

The purpose of this tip sheet is to equip sub-school leaders, assistant principals and principals with practical tips on supporting neurodivergent students, particularly at secondary schools. These are meant to complement schools’ implementation of whole-school programs, such as School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support and Respectful Relationships.
These tips have been designed through two channels: first, with principals and assistant principals during the I CAN workshops at the 2022 Victorian Government Schools Principals’ Conference; second, through consultations with autistic secondary teachers, students, parents/carers and former principals.
