Workshops designed to support your clinic, team, or community in developing their neurodiversity - affirming practice and supporting neurodivergent wellbeing.
SUPPORTING NEURODIVERGENT KIDS IN THE CLASSROOM
AN INTRODUCTION TO NEURODIVERSITY AND THE NEUROWILD SHIFT
This workshop introduces neurodiversity and explores how our understanding of Autistic and ADHD experiences shapes the way we support children in the classroom. We’ll unpack common misconceptions about behaviour, communication, learning, and regulation, while exploring how neuronormative expectations can create barriers to safety, belonging, and participation.
REFRAMING ALLIED HEALTH
REFRAMING OUR ROLE AS AFFIRMING ALLIED HEALTH PROVIDERS
What does our role look like as we move away from neuronormativity? We explore how allied health professionals can create meaningful, long-term impact, moving away from neuronormative frameworks and towards radical acceptance, neurodivergent pride, and genuinely affirming practice.
RSD & FAWNING
AN INTRODUCTION TO RSD, FAWNING, AND SUPPORTING SELF ADVOCACY DEVELOPMENT IN OUR NEURODIVERGENT KIDS
People-pleasing. Fawning. Masking. What happens when trying to be “the perfect kid” becomes a survival strategy, and what does it cost?
Em unpacks how rejection sensitivity, perfectionism, and conditional acceptance trap so many autistic young people in cycles of burnout, while sharing hard-won insights on what helps us break free.
In this workshop, Em shows us:
- How fawning and masking develop as protection
- Why self-advocacy can feel so impossible
- What adults can actually do to create safer spaces for kids to unmask and thrive
