Neurodivergent Curriculum Integration Framework

The following tables summarize the transposition of the Ontario Elementary Curriculum through the lens of Neurodivergent (ND) Sovereignty, 4-Hall Math, and Systemic Auditing.

1. Core Subject Areas (Grades 1–8)

SubjectTraditional Ontario ApproachTransposed ND / “4-Hall” Approach
MathematicsDesktop manipulatives and abstract sums.The Living Textbook: Architecture as a tool; using hallways for spatial sensing and systemic auditing.
LanguageSocial communication and expressive storytelling.Neuro-Symbolic Processing: Decoding cultural colloquialisms as technical protocols and reverse-engineering linguistic “signals.”
Science & TechGeneral inquiry and theoretical observation.Systemic Auditing: Fact-checking school infrastructure (sound, light, electricity) as a “Lead Auditor.”
SSHGEmpathy-based history and personal identity.Systemic Evolution: History as a series of “system reboots”; Geography as spatial logistics and “Social Exoskeletons.”
ArtsPerformance and emotional self-expression.Technical Design: Visual arts as blueprinting; Dance as somatic data science; Music as acoustic engineering.
Health & PECompetitive sports and social compliance.Biological Systems Management: Calibrating the body (HRI) and using movement for neurological regulation.
Indigenous LanguagesRote vocabulary and heritage stories.Relational Logic: Using land-based verbs to audit ecological systems and using syllabics as mathematical logic gates.

2. Early Years & Specialized Frameworks

FrameworkKey Focus AreaTransposed Implementation
KindergartenProblem Solving & InnovatingThe Dynamic Learning Lab: Moving out of the classroom to test structural designs in open hallways.
KindergartenSelf-RegulationPhysical Calibration: Using “Calibrated Walks” and architectural markers to reset the nervous system.
Indigenous TEKCultural KnowledgeEcological Engineering: Auditing the health of the local environment using ancestral relational logic.
SEL IntegrationEmotional LiteracyIncident Auditing: Converting “big feelings” into objective data points $(x, y)$ on a coordinate plane.

3. Progression of Mastery (Grade Level Integration)

Grade LevelDevelopmental ThemePrimary Mathematical Tool
Primary (1-3)Initialization: System mapping and sensory data collection.Sets & Logic: Sorting “Non-Volatile Memory” (safe items) vs. “Temporary Files.”
Junior (4-6)Mapping & Defense: Building the “Policy Exoskeleton.”Algebra & Geometry: Cartesian plotting of sensory incidents and scale drawing of “Safe Nodes.”
Intermediate (7-8)Mastery & Contract: Professional portfolios and HRI consulting.Statistics & Ratios: Calculating “Latency Ratios” (processing time) and auditing “Medical Model” data.

4. Tactical Navigation (The “Policy Exoskeleton”)

Tool / ConceptTraditional InterpretationND Strength-Based Reframing
Social SkillsCompliance (eye contact, turn-taking).Minimum Viable Response (MVR): Calculating the most energy-efficient response to satisfy an interaction.
Sensory MeltdownBehavioral outburst / Failure.System Crash / Data Surge: An unoptimized response to a high-gain environmental input.
HallwayTransition space / “No-go” zone.The Hub: A central node for systemic supervision and autonomous engineering audits.
IEP GoalsDeficit reduction.Sovereign Charter: A contract outlining the student’s “System Interoperability” requirements.
