Course Overview
This full-day training builds on the half-day awareness session and takes a closer look at neurodiversity in education. It gives staff practical tools to recognise, understand, and support neurodivergent students and colleagues, helping schools create more inclusive and supportive environments.
This interactive course explores how differences such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia affect learning, communication, and school life. Using real examples, group activities, and clear strategies, participants will learn how to challenge stigma, adapt their practice, and build classrooms where every student and staff member can succeed. Understanding neurodiversity is not just an idea; it’s a way to unlock potential.
