How do you actually manage special needs in a mainstream classroom (when you’re not getting the support you need)?

Ever looked around your classroom mid-lesson and thought:
“How the heck am I supposed to meet 30 different needs all at once?”

Yeah. Me too.

This week, I’m kicking off a new mini-series answering your most-asked questions, starting with one I get all the time:
“How do I support students with special needs in my mainstream classroom? There has to be more help out there.”

Spoiler alert: There should be more help. But in the meantime, I’m walking you through what you can actually control, without burning yourself out or playing superhero.

I’ll give you a front seat to:

The real talk I wish I got at uni about inclusion
Why “just differentiate” is the most unhelpful advice ever
The classroom systems and routines that actually make a difference
And the role your own nervous system plays in it all

This one’s not about perfection. It’s about doing what’s possible—in a way that’s human, sustainable, and actually helps kids thrive (including you).

Let’s dive in.

What You’ll Learn:

Why you can’t meet every need, and why that’s not failure
The power of systems over individualised strategies
What real inclusion looks and feels like
The two biggest game-changers: routine + regulation
How to support neurodiverse and neurotypical students at the same time
