A ready-to-run 60-minute INSET on autism and ADHD in the mainstream classroom, for all staff, no prior knowledge needed. 30 slides, a separate presenter-notes sheet with a speaker note for every slide, three A4 handouts (the eight things that help everyone; a one-page ‘what helps me’ pupil sheet; a Monday plan), two one-minute writing pauses and a Year 4 case study. A 10-minute staff-meeting version uses slides 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 20 and 28.

What it covers: why now (DfE absence and EHC-plan figures, checked October 2026; the DWP Expert Panel on Neurodiversity, October 2026); what autism and ADHD actually are, how they overlap, masking and the after-school meltdown; the classroom: sensory audit, visual timetables, language that lands, the eight universal adjustments, movement and regulation, transitions, homework and time; behaviour policies and the Equality Act 2010; girls and late diagnosis; working with parents; the graduated approach, recording adjustments, exams and access arrangements; staff wellbeing; Monday plan.

Sources are listed on the last slide (DWP, DfE, Acas, EEF, SEND Code of Practice, Autism Education Trust, National Autistic Society, ADHD Foundation). Written with AI assistance; checked against those sources before publishing.
