Make Your Mindfulness Course More Inclusive
This toolkit introduces practical considerations for before, during, and after your mindfulness course, using our Seven Spokes of the Skilful Teaching Wheel framework. This resource is designed to help teachers develop greater awareness and confidence in neuro-inclusive teaching, enabling you to create supportive, neuro-affirming spaces for neurodivergent participants.
With a deeper understanding of neurodiversity and a few thoughtful adaptations, mindfulness spaces can become more supportive, accessible, and inclusive for all your participants.
What’s Inside the 60 Page Toolkit
Inside the toolkit you’ll explore:
- A helpful glossary of terms
- The Seven Spokes of the Skilful Teaching Wheel
- Practical ideas for creating accessible learning environments
- How to guide neuro-affirming, trauma-informed practices
- Ways to adapt traditional mindfulness didactic teaching
Why Neuro-Inclusive Teaching Matters
Traditional mindfulness teaching approaches do not always fully support neurodivergent individuals.
Neurodivergence describes people whose brains process information, learn, and experience the world differently from dominant expectations. This includes neurotypes such as Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette’s Syndrome, and more.
Neuro-inclusive teaching helps with:
Reducing unnecessary barriers
Supporting different ways of processing and engaging
Encouraging participants to practise without masking or suppressing their authentic selves
When mindfulness teaching becomes neuro-affirming, it can be more accessible, effective, and meaningful for everyone.
What Readers are Saying:
“Amazingly comprehensive and helpful”
“Beautiful booklet full of practical and easy‑to‑use ideas”
“This resource will be invaluable to us, and I'm grateful for all the work you do in this hugely important area”
“I’m finding your book really useful in helping me provide options in class that are neuro‑affirming”
The Seven Spokes of the Skilful Teaching Wheel
Building on the globally-acclaimed and evidence-based Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Teaching Assessment Criteria (MBI:TAC), our framework evolves traditional standards into a neuro-affirmative model. We use a wheel metaphor to represent teaching in motion, where each spoke signifies an essential element of neuro-inclusive practice. This approach supports teachers by seamlessly bridging foundational mindfulness principles with specialised, neurodiversity-aware techniques in a clear and practical way.
