What people are saying...
Dr. Amanda Abel – Paediatric Psychologist
I'm a Paediatric Psychologist and the founder of two paediatric practices in Melbourne.
I loved doing the Get into Neurodiversity teacher training because it was so flexible.
I could just do it whenever I had the time, which was often in the evening.
Dr. Amanda Abel – Paediatric Psychologist
I loved that I could pause or replay bits that I didn't quite understand, and that this package really explained the experience of a neurodiverse child from the bottom up.
I feel like it made it really clear for teachers to understand the typical challenges that these types of kids would be experiencing, and the strategies suggested were super practical.
They just seem to really make sense and there were a lot of them!
Dr. Amanda Abel – Paediatric Psychologist
I really felt that this training was, in my mind, essential for any teacher because these days there are a lot of neurodiverse kids in each classroom.
I highly recommend the Get into Neurodiversity training and I really hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
Steve Chinn – Assoc. Member BDA
This course as a whole is comprehensive; in fact, it is excellent.
I think schools have a responsibility to address learning difficulties and by using appropriate interventions they will help many pupils, not just those who are recognised and diagnosed with an SpLD.
Steve Chinn – Assoc. Member BDA
I am pleased to see that in the last video tutorial, time is devoted to student anxiety, insecurity and mental well-being.
It seems to be on the increase and obviously, is often a consequence of neurodiversity.
I think all schools need this course. A job well done!
Carina McSweeney – DET NSW
The Neurodiversity course gave me some great tools and some good information to complement my existing understanding and interest in supporting students.
As a Learning and Support Teacher I am always seeking ways to get the best from the students with learning difficulties and different ways of thinking.
The information in this course would be useful for all teachers.
Evie Cassimatis – Oakleigh Grammar VIC Australia
I found the Get into Neurodiversity Teacher Training course to be a most user friendly, worthwhile, comprehensive and informative course.
The course offers such a diverse and invaluable range of strategies and resources. Every teacher should complete this course!
It enables teachers to broaden their teaching methodologies, knowledge and skills in terms of identifying the Neurodiverse student.
Deb – BNE Catholic School
The checklists are user friendly and ready to go. A full profile of your neurodiverse student will allow you to understand their needs and the best way to address their needs.
All content was well presented. A great resource for all teachers.
Cheryl Slater – Jubilee CC – QLD
It has given me a good overview of the Learning Difficulties that my students may have and then be able to offer them a better level of support, not only for the Neurodiverse students but also the Neurotypical.
I found this course to be very informative.
Joanne Hocking – Parramatta Catholic School NSW
It provided a great overview of neurodiversity and what to look for in students, with ideas on how to modify and adjust learning and collect thoughts which can then be forwarded to relevant coordinators and specialists.
This has been a beneficial course.
Miranda – Narromine Christian School
I have been actively seeking training on specific learning difficulties so was eager to complete this course when my Principal discovered it.
Our whole staff have completed the training so we will be able to engage in professional conversations about concerns of specific students with a lot more mutual understanding and knowledge.
The resources included in this training will be invaluable in our efforts to identify and support our students with neurodiversity now and in the future.
The short, video segments were achievable to fit into my busy work and home schedule.
Sallyanne – Primary and Pre Primary
I have just completed this online course and absolutely loved it.
Now to put it all together and start collating a learner profile for some of my little people.
Thank you so much it is great online course.
Ana – Primary and Pre-Primary
I am highly likely to recommend this training to other educators.
I cannot thank you enough for delving so deeply into the background knowledge behind Neurodiversity as well as the extensive list of support strategies to benefit my students.
Alisa – Secondary Teacher
I 100% believe that we should learn about how to teach students with neurodiversity during our teacher training.
This training made me realize I can teach in novel ways that I hadn’t considered before.
I now understand the impact of working memory for learning and remembering, and how important accommodations are if a student is to achieve.
I love the fact that this training was online, had great resources and was full of clear explanations.
It is very important that teachers in other schools complete this training.
