Neurodivergent people often see and process the world differently than neurotypical people. Certain aspects of secondary school, including the frequent transitions between different classes and the need for solid executive functioning skills (the suite of skills “needed to get things done”), can make the school experience challenging for many neurodivergent students.

The purpose of this video is to help teachers see secondary school through that neurodivergent student lens. For examples of transition practice in primary schools, please see the case studies in the Primary to Secondary School Transition resources.
