Participants will consider the use of visuals and behavioral supports through a neurodiversity affirming lens for learners with varied learning and support needs. Evidence-based resources, including flexible visual schedules, social narratives that resist expectations for neurotypical social norms, choice boards that tap into learner interests and passions, contingency maps that provide options for reaching a goal, and checklists that break tasks down into manageable chunks will be shared, emphasizing strategies to support neurodiverse learners. Beyond learning about strategies, participants will be coached to create customized resources for their own learners using commonly available technology such as Google Slides, Microsoft Word, LessonPIx, Book Creator along with new and emerging Artifical Intelligence tools. As a result, educators will be empowered to provide resources to their learners that support sensory and emotional regulation, develop appropriate boundaries, communicate needs and preferences, and can pre-empt behaviors that interfere with classroom learning.
