Do you have neurodivergent students struggling to focus in the classroom? An option that could help is to get outdoors!


Research shows that outdoor learning is great for all kids.

👉Learning outside is not just about fresh air and fun. It also helps: 

🌱Reduce stress and anxiety: Nature’s calming influence helps regulate emotions.

🌱Improve focus and attention: Outdoor environments provide a stimulating yet non-overwhelming experience.

🌱Boost creativity and problem-solving skills: Nature inspires curiosity and exploration.

📝Important to note: I often find what works well for neurodivergent students works for all children.
