When learning about neurodiversity, there are a lot of terms to learn about. There are also a number of terms that look quite similar, but have subtle differences among them, such as when to use neurodivergent and neurodiverse. (Unfortunately, a LOT of published books mix up these terms and use the wrong one.)
So, while you're teaching your kids about neurodiversity and what all of those different terms mean, you might want to reinforce their learning with this free neurodiversity word scramble game.
This printable is also a great activity to do during Neurodiversity Celebration Week or Autism Acceptance Month.
Why Word Scramble Games are Good for Kids

You can use free printable word scramble games like this one at home, in the classroom, or even on the road. Or you could use them in Zoom meetings for online learning (tips on how to do so here). They'd even make a great rainy day activity too!
Also, if you've been looking for other ideas on how to use your hyperlexic child's interests in letters, then word scramble games are a great fit. They definitely build off of a hyperlexic child's interest in letters. I mean the game is literally just a bunch of letters. Besides, using your hyperlexic child's interest to teach new skills is definitely something you should be doing - and something you'll hear me say a lot around here!
