The go-to handbook for neurodivergent adults who want less stress and more clarity in daily life. After the success of the Neurodiversity Training Handbook & Resource Toolkit, one question kept coming up: “What about neurodivergent adults?” As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent adult, I created this handbook to share practical strategies that actually work in daily life. Inside, you’ll learn how to: Make routines manageable: simple tools for planning, organization, and executive functioning. Feel more comfortable being yourself: notice how masking shows up and reduce the stress of constantly “performing.” Understand your identity: what diagnosis or self-identification can mean for you—both paths are valid. Strengthen relationships: practical strategies for family, friendships, and romantic partnerships. Thrive at work and at home: approaches for careers, independence, and everyday responsibilities. Why this handbook matters Most resources talk theory. Navigating Neurodiversity gives you strategies you can use today—to cut through overwhelm, reduce stress in daily routines, and build confidence in your relationships, work, and identity. What readers are saying “I love AdaptEd guides and resources! I'm an educational therapist and use them all the time in my practice. I'm currently working on a course for neurodiverse adults who struggle in their workplace. This handbook has already helped me clarify my content in multiple ways. It's a great resource that I'll be recommending to future clients.”— Karen Haggard, Educational Therapist Who it’s for This handbook supports adults with a wide range of neurodivergent profiles, including: Autism ADHD Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder) Tourette Syndrome / Tic Disorders Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Sensory Processing Differences Other learning and attention differences, including co-occurring mental health needs Strategies are flexible, so you can adapt them to your own strengths and challenges.

Practice identifying likes and dislikes while working on beginning writing skills and sentences structure.  The book has 14 pages, and the student will match the corresponding pictures to the sentence strip, creating opinion sentences with ease. (Ex: I don't like to eat broccoli.)  File Folder Companion- has the same 14 food choices + 6 other food options, your students will match the foods to the page (like or don't like)  Included 10 MB PDF  |  20 pages 14-page book + Digital Drag and Drop Version Picture and word pieces for writing sentences Writing worksheet to copy down the sentences they've created File Folder Companion Set  Instructions of set up and all picture pieces are included!  After students finish writing the book I like to have them practice copying down the sentences they have made.  This is a great way to have students work on forming their own opinions, especially for students with minimal verbal skills, as well as getting students to use proper sentence structure. 

The AAC Handbook and Toolkit is a great resource for educators who want to ensure the entire team (parents, teachers, support staff, etc.) has the knowledge and resources necessary for implementing and teaching AAC.   My love of AAC began years ago, when I worked with my first AAC client fresh out of school- an amazing girl with Cerebral Palsy who opened my eyes up to the world of AAC. Along the way I've learned that many of us, no matter how great our intentions are, struggle to implement AAC in a way that works for students & their teams.  My passion and goal is to make AAC implementation more straight-forward (and more enjoyable because AAC is so dang necessary)! This AAC handbook gives you the information you need to get the whole team (teacher, SLP, professionals, paraprofessionals) on board with current AAC strategies.  This resources includes three sections as follows: AAC Training Handbook  AAC Toolkit  the visuals and materials you need to embed AAC naturally throughout the day.  + Video Instruction for each material to ensure the team knows how to implement each strategy effectively.  AAC Data Sheets  AAC Participation Plan   As a licensed SLP, I've had a lot of experience with AAC.  I've witnessed, many times over, that AAC success hinges on one very important factor: consistency. AAC users need and deserve consistent exposure to communication and modeling.  To get this consistency, they need all important members of their life on board with their communication system.  It's no secret that many educational teams struggle with AAC consistency.  Do I believe that this happens because teams don't care or put in the effort?  No.  I believe it happens because teams need more support. A handbook can help people learn the basic skills that they need.  (And that's why I wrote one!)   But I don't believe in stopping at a handbook. I believe in supporting teachers and educational professionals in incorporating AAC into classrooms in a way that is simple, cohesive, and natural.  So, enter the AAC in the Toolkit. This kit delivers a plethora of materials to get you started with ease.  Because your team doesn't just need AAC info dumped in your laps- - - You all need practical ways to help you implement what you've learned. This resource also includes data sheets, classroom visuals, Google Slides access to edit the icons, core vocabulary boards, clear directions for modeling, AAC research citations, staff handouts, and so much more! This packet does not include information about AAC assessment (which is really a separate training that is valuable to seek out).  It is also important to note that this product may be used with any type of AAC.  It will not give any device-specific information. If you have any questions about this packet, please email me at krystie@adapted4specialed.com and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.   Spanish parent handbook is included.  ___________________________________ Copyright © AdaptEd 4 Special Ed Permission to copy for single classroom use only.
