Schools and Education

8DHD professional packs give education teams visual material they can use to understand school pressure, prepare for change and begin calmer conversations with pupils and families.

How these resources can be used

Resources for teachers, SEN teams, teaching assistants and education settings supporting neurodivergent pupils.

Preparing for routines and transitions

Use a visual story before a school event so pupils can see the sequence and know what to expect.

Supporting SEN and pastoral conversations

Use a comic as a calm shared reference when words alone are difficult to find.

Building understanding across the team

Give staff a consistent visual account of what pressure may feel like from the pupil's perspective.
