Understand the idea
Use clear language, visual models, examples and explicit vocabulary. Learners know what the concept means and why it matters.
Education philosophy
Neurodiversity-first.
Human-centred. Practical.
The SGCA canon defines how every mission, interface and assessment protects dignity, supports different ways of thinking and turns concepts into confident creation.
CPA learning model
Concept → Practice → Apply.
Try it safely
Use guided examples, predictable steps, hints and low-risk repetition without shame or punitive scoring.
Create with purpose
Transfer knowledge into a mission, explain decisions, test the result and reflect on improvement.
Neurodiversity-first rules
Access is part of quality.
Predictable structure
Consistent navigation, visible progress, clear task boundaries and explicit next steps.
Multiple ways to engage
Text, diagrams, examples, audio-ready content and flexible response formats where appropriate.
Processing time
No artificial urgency. Learners can pause, revisit instructions and work at a sustainable pace.
Strength-based feedback
Feedback names what works, identifies one useful next step and never uses humiliation.
Executive-function support
Checklists, chunked missions, saved progress and reminders reduce unnecessary memory load.
Accessible language
Direct sentences, defined terminology and meaningful headings support comprehension.
Sensory safety
Calm by default.
Visual safety
- No flashing or rapid strobing
- WCAG AA contrast targets
- Reduced-motion support
- Information never relies on colour alone
Audio safety
- No automatic sound
- Volume and captions remain controllable
- Alerts use calm, non-startling feedback
Interaction safety
- Keyboard access and visible focus
- Undo and confirmation for important actions
- No manipulative countdowns or dark patterns
