Learning Objectives:

Identify the signs and symptoms of neurodivergence to better understand its impact on student behavior and learning.

Differentiate between behavior patterns associated with neurodivergence, trauma, and typical misbehavior to ensure accurate responses and interventions.

Understand the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Questionnaire and its relevance in identifying and addressing trauma in students.

Explain the concept of the Window of Tolerance and how it relates to a student’s capacity for learning and self-regulation.

Learn strategies for maintaining the Window of Tolerance to create a supportive and productive learning environment.

Apply effective classroom Do’s and Don’ts when working with students affected by neurodivergence, trauma, or behavioral challenges.
