When we talk about designing activities with neurodivergent children in mind—those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and more—we’re not just supporting those who need it most. We’re creating richer, more engaging experiences for every child in the room. Inclusion isn’t a bolt-on. It’s the foundation of great teaching—and great adventures.

In every classroom, there are students whose minds move at a million miles a minute. They may fidget, lose focus during long explanations, or struggle with traditional tasks that require sitting still. For children with ADHD, this isn’t a matter of willpower – it’s neurological. But when learning shifts away from the desk and into the realm of active, varied, and purpose-driven experiences, something incredible happens: these students don't just manage – they shine.

In today’s fast-paced world, the way we educate children is evolving – and for good reason. While traditional desk-based learning has long been the standard in classrooms, there’s a growing body of evidence showing that active learning – where children move, interact, and engage in hands-on experiences – offers a wealth of benefits, especially for children in Key Stage 2 (ages 7–11).
