FOR NEURODIVERGENT STUDENTSNüdel is specifically designed to provide stimulating, open-ended learning opportunities for students, which greatly benefits students who are neurodivergent (such as ADHD & Autism).
Loose parts play karts stimulate the mind by allowing the student to explore & discover - from creating stim toys like fidget spinners, to creating a rocket ship to explore new imaginary worlds. |
|
|
Open-ended & student-led learning is crucial for neurodivergent students as they are able to harness their skills, without the fear of failure that is often experience in structed learning. Neurodivergent students are naturally skilled in approaching tasks creatively & in unique ways - and often feel limited & feel like a failure when learning is done through close-ended tasks that only have one way of being "right".
With the endless possibilities of loose parts play, Nüdel resources gives children the tools they need to thrive in the 21st Century, such as teamwork, leadership, social skills, creativity and problem solving. These are the skills that are able to be strengthened by using Nüdel resources. |
DEEP ENGAGEMENT
Students with ADHD are often seen as balls of energy that are always bouncing, running, jumping around - however what is often misunderstood is they just want dopamine.
ADHD students need to be enriched & long lasting stimulation - and Nüdel offers the perfect solution as it offers endless opportunities for play & learning. Teachers are always amazed at how long Nüdel keeps students engaged, particularly students who have ADHD. |
LOW SENSORY
You may have noticed that Nüdel is not very colourful - this is intentional. By not having all the parts be the one colour - it empowers the child to use their imagination.
However this is also useful for student who have prefer low sensory environments - as Nüdel is not overwhelming with colours & sounds that other classroom resources often use. |
EMPOWERING
Nüdel allows students to engage how they would like. If a student is feeling shy & needs some quiet time - they are able to build a cubby for themselves. If they are feeling active - they are able to create cars & rockers and other ways to move around.
It also allows for a range of skills & abilities - if certain students need more time to process information or master a skill, they are able to work in their own pace & to their own interests. |

THE POWER OF LOOSE PARTS PLAY
|
Loose Parts is simply a name for stimulating materials that children can manipulate in endless ways. Through this process they learn the foundational principles of how the world works. Loose parts are open ended and reusable in an infinite number of ways. Unlike other educational resources that can sit unused, Nüdel resources allow children to have a different learning experience everyday without losing interest, making it a smart investment over the long term.
It is precisely because of their open-endedness that loose parts engage the highest forms of thinking and interaction such as creativity, problem solving, social skills and emotional intelligence. Loose parts play and Nüdel resources support STEM learning through authentic engagement in real world challenges. Loose parts are also excellent for psycho-social support for children from traumatised and disadvantaged backgrounds allowing them to express themselves in a safe, open ended and creative environment. |
