Are you an educator, teacher, learning assistant, or school psychologist responsible for teaching and supporting neuro-divergent students?

Join us for an engaging and informative session dedicated to Understanding and Supporting Neuro-Divergent Students, including ADHDers and autistic students. During this interactive day of learning, you will have the opportunity to up-skill yourself and enhance your ability to provide effective support to your neuro-divergent students.

Creating a safe educational environment for neuro-divergent students is crucial as it significantly impacts their mental health and academic outcomes. Gain valuable insights and practical strategies to foster a positive learning atmosphere for these students.

Please note that while neuro-divergent individuals encompass a wide range of neuro-types, this presentation will primarily focus on the unique needs of autistic students and ADHDers.

  1. Understand the significance of language and its impact on neuro-divergent students.

  2. Explore the neuro-affirming movement and its importance in education.

  3. Identify and unpack unhelpful expectations commonly found in many schools.
