Every child deserves to feel welcome and supported at the tuckshop.

For many neurodivergent students, food choices can be influenced by sensory sensitivities, strong preferences for routine, or difficulties with new textures and flavours. These unique needs can make the tuckshop both a challenge and an opportunity.  

This guide to neurodiversity is designed to help tuckshops better understand and respond to the unique needs of neurodiverse students, creating an inclusive, calm, and positive food experience for everyone.

This resource was developed as part of the Healthier Tuckshops Program funded by the Queensland Government through Health and Wellbeing Queensland.
