Description

This 5-week course provides a welcoming, non-judgemental space to explore neurodiversity and gain knowledge, confidence and practical strategies to help your child thrive. You do not need your child to have a diagnosis to attend. This course is suitable for those who are seeking guidance, are waiting for an assessment for their child, have recently received a diagnosis, or simply want to learn more about neurodiversity in children.

Over five weekly sessions, we will cover...

Getting help and accessing support for your child
The impact of neurodiversity on mental health and wellbeing
Encouraging positive behaviour
Supporting communication skills
Opening doors to learning and helping your child reach their potential

Join us to connect with other parents and carers, gain valuable insights, and discover practical approaches to supporting your neurodivergent child.

Who is this course for?
This course is for parents/carers of children who may be neurodivergent or people wanting to find out more. Our courses are for people who live in Derbyshire aged 19 and over.
