Description
Are you interested in learning more about neurodiversity and what it means for children and young people? Whether your child is neurodivergent, you suspect they may be, or you just want to understand neurodiversity better, this free online taster session is a great place to start.
In this welcoming and supportive session, we explore what neurodiversity means, look at some of the different ways children experience and interact with the world, and discuss the strengths and challenges that can be associated with neurodivergence.
No previous knowledge is required, and your child does not need to have a diagnosis. The session is open to all parents, carers and anyone with an interest in understanding neurodiversity in children.
Join us to gain valuable insights, ask questions, and take the first step towards understanding and supporting your child with confidence.
