Supporting the needs of neurodiverse students continues to arise in workforce research as a key development area for Australian teachers.
This workshop exclusively delivered by AUSTSWIM Trainer, Sheryl Everett, will expand on the needs of neurodiverse students and provide helpful tips for working alongside families and carers to improve the learn to swim experience for teachers and students alike.
Prepare to discuss three areas of neurodiversity including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Global Developmental Delay and understand why challenging behaviours may arise. Sheryl will walk you through simple strategies such as using pictures or written schedules (for the whole class), reframing lesson sequences and the importance of building a strong relationship with students to improve the learn to swim experience.
