How to Make School Feel Safe: 3 Things Every Parent Needs to Know

How Can We Make School Feel Safe?

Safety is the number one concern for families of neurodivergent children — and it goes far beyond locked gates and supervision.

In this episode of Navigating Neurodiverse Education, Ruth Smoker-Cornell explores what real school safety looks like and what parents need to notice when choosing or reviewing a school.

This episode unpacks:
 • how schools handle bullying in real life
 • what emotional regulation support actually looks like
 • why sensory safety matters
 • what happens during transitions, playground time, and unstructured moments

If you’re asking, “Will my child be safe being themselves at school?” — this episode is for you.

Because safety isn’t an add-on.
 It’s the foundation for learning.
