Not only are Homeroom Teachers key to student success but so too are occasional teachers. Over the course of time in any school, students will encounter occasional teachers be it for a day or for a longer term. 

The question is as a parent how do you build a relationship with that teacher? As that occasional teacher, how can you support neurodiverse learners? 

Today on the podcast I speak to Amanda Yuill. She is a long-time occasional teacher with experience supporting students of many abilities. We talk about how parents can build a relationship with both parents and students. The other thing we discuss is how the occasional teacher can build relationships with families, students and the school staff.
