Autism & ADHD Awareness Workshop
Do you work with a child or young person with Autism or ADHD in education? Understanding the Autism Spectrum and ADHD – and how these neurodivergent profiles can impact a child’s learning – is essential.
There are many children and young people navigating Autism and ADHD who may or may not have a formal diagnosis. At times, their behaviour can be challenging, the way they focus or relate to others can seem confusing, and trying to find the right way to help can occasionally feel frustrating.
This workshop will help you to understand how young people with Autism and ADHD experience the world around them, equipping you with the insight needed to support them more effectively in education.
