Class Experience
In this personalized 1-on-1 online class, conducted using the Scratch online platform, the teacher provides a safe and supportive environment tailored specifically for learners with Anxiety, ADHD, or Autism. With individualized instruction and flexible pacing, the class caters to the unique needs of neurodiverse students, offering a sense of security and reducing anxiety commonly associated with traditional classroom settings. The structured routine, clear communication, and emotional support help alleviate anxiety, while the small class size minimizes social pressure. Additionally, the multi-sensory activities and interactive projects cater to different learning styles, fostering engagement and reducing restlessness often experienced by students with ADHD. For learners with Autism, the visual supports, structured learning environment, and clear goals provide predictability and promote a sense of control. By incorporating frequent pauses for processing, the class accommodates the cognitive processing differences often associated with ADHD and Autism, ensuring optimal comprehension and retention. Through this approach, neurodiverse learners can feel supported, empowered, and successful in their coding journey, gaining not only technical skills but also invaluable social and emotional confidence.
