During my 35 years in education, I learned that the right strategies at the right time can change everything. When students approached tests or classroom challenges in ways that fit their brains, their success grew. Whether it was reordering test sections or finding movement breaks for active learners, small adjustments made a big difference.

There are always strategies and solutions for the challenges that come with neurodivergence—in school and in life. In fact, many of the tools that helped neurodivergent students also benefited neurotypical ones. Until the world fully adapts to all kinds of brains, we can work together to create real, practical solutions.
