Inclusive teaching often requires adjustments and scaffolds to be implemented to meet the needs of every learner. Small changes can support a student to understand the learning content. Adjustments and scaffolds may also reduce anxiety and behavioural concerns. These adjustments and scaffolds practices focus on strategies that can support students with transitions, writing, and general learning behaviour.
