#47 What Are Reasonable Adjustments for Our Neurodivergent Child?
About this episode
Do you know what reasonable adjustments really mean—and how they can transform your neurodivergent child’s school experience?
In this essential episode, we break down everything parents and educators need to understand about reasonable adjustments, accommodations, and supports that help neurodivergent kids access learning, participation, and safety—without lowering expectations or compromising dignity.
You’ll discover:
✔ What reasonable adjustments actually are (and why they’re a legal right, not a favour)
✔ Common and practical adjustments that can be made—from quiet zones and movement breaks to assistive tech and social supports
✔ How to confidently ask for these adjustments at school meetings (and get them in writing)
✔ How to know if adjustments are helping—and when it’s time to revisit and revise
✔ Why these adjustments are about making learning possible for your child, not making it “easy”
Whether you’re navigating IEP meetings, advocating at school, or teaching neurodivergent children, this episode equips you with the language, knowledge, and strategies to get the right supports in place—without guilt or overwhelm.
🎁 BONUS: Download the free Reasonable Adjustments Cheat Sheet—a handy, printable list to take to your next meeting.
