Reverse Planning and Record Keeping
If planning feels overwhelming or every routine seems to trigger resistance, this gentle guide will help you explore flexible ways to support your autistic, ADHD or PDA child. Here, you’ll find calm, neurodivergent-friendly approaches to structure, planning and record keeping that work with your child’s nervous system – not against it.
Planning and record-keeping look very different in a neurodivergent homeschool. Autistic, ADHD and PDA kids often need structure – but not the kind that’s built around fixed pacing, long worksheets, or “sticking to the plan” no matter how they’re coping. This section explores gentle, realistic ways to support learning without pressure, perfectionism, or daily battles.
At the heart of this approach is Reverse Planning – a calm, neurodivergent-friendly method where you notice what your child naturally engages with and build your documentation from there. No scripted lessons. No forcing output. Just recognising the learning that’s already happening and supporting it at a pace that protects your child’s nervous system.
Here, you’ll find simple routines, low-demand planning tools, and practical guidance to help you meet requirements without compromising your child’s emotional safety – or your own capacity. Everything is designed to work with your child, not against them, so your homeschool can feel calmer, clearer and sustainable for the long term.
