This handout was created to support teachers, SNAs, and school staff working with neurodivergent students in autism classes. Grounded in both occupational therapy practice and lived experience, it explores regulation, sensory needs, communication, autonomy, and nervous system safety within school environments.
Rather than focusing on behaviour management or compliance, this resource encourages a neuroaffirmative, regulation-first approach centred on safety, connection, understanding, and participation.
