Better communication: Find out how to improve teamwork between parents, teachers, and professionals to make sure everyone is working together in the best way for the child’s wellbeing.

Boosting mental health and resilience: Join workshops on how to manage anxiety, build resilience, and support emotional learning, so neurodivergent children and teens can flourish both academically and emotionally.

You’ll also get the chance to connect with a community of professionals and caregivers who are all committed to inclusivity. Plus, you’ll leave with a bundle of helpful resources, from books to digital guides, that you can start using right away.
