Agent Drew Thompson (Neurodiversity: sometimes you just need a wiggle and a snack)
Your lesson, should you choose to accept it, is to use various planning and instructional strategies to support your neurodiverse students. The special agent assigned to help you with this task is Drew Thompson, of Organized Minds.
In our conversation we discuss:
1️⃣ Drew’s personal experiences as a neurodiverse learner and the supports he wished he had received
2️⃣ Scope creep, the dark side of graphic organizers, inductive versus deductive thinking, the value of chunking assignments, and making social interpretations clear
3️⃣ Why sometimes giving students a “wiggle and a snack”, no matter what age, can make a huge difference!
