Abstract: This discussion paper synthesises recent research (2014 to 2025) on teaching practices that support Autistic students and students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in school settings. It outlines what the current evidence indicates for these cohorts, what is emerging and the implications for policy and practice in Australian schools. The paper was developed drawing on multiple project activities, including an umbrella review, targeted searches of recent literature, expert input and scans of relevant policy and system settings. This approach supports a balanced interpretation of findings and highlights areas where further work is needed.
