Understanding My Neurodivergence: Empowerment Course for Children and Young Teens

Join us for a transformative 6-week group course designed to empower neurodivergent children and young teens. Through interactive sessions, participants will explore what neurodivergence means to them, identify strategies to support their well-being, articulate their needs, and celebrate their uniqueness. A diagnosis of ADHD and Autism is required.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to empower your child in understanding and embracing their neurodiversity journey. 

FAQs

Do parents/carers need to stay for the face to face course?

Ideally parents and carers will stay at the venue, although not necessarily in the room, for all the face to face sessions. Where possible we will provide an area for parents to wait, but please note this may not always be possible. For some children and young people, it is anticipated that parents or carers may need to remain in the room to ensure that the young person feels safe and anxiety is reduced.

Please avoid bringing other children to the sessions.

What is the role of parents/carers in the online sessions?

We anticipate that a parent/carer may need to play an active role in setting their child up on zoom for the session, ensuring they have all the resources required for the session, helping them to join in with activities as necessary and ensuring the young person is safe and doesn’t move away from the session onto other sites. For some children and young people, parents or carers may need to play more of an active role in the sessions to ensure that children are engaged in the session.

How many trainers will there be?

There will be 2 trainers in every session.
