Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Lauren Sands, founder of The Sands Academy, a neuro-affirming, inclusive school redefining what education can look like when neurodivergent needs are truly centred.

Lauren brings deep experience supporting children who are often marginalised by traditional schooling models, and advocates for practical, compassionate ways to build classrooms where every student can thrive.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply passionate about inclusion, this discussion will leave you with new insights and ideas for making learning spaces safer and more empowering for neurodivergent students.

🧠 What We’ll Talk About:

• What real inclusion looks like beyond surface-level accommodations

• Why "behaviour" is communication, not defiance

• How to create a strengths-based classroom environment

• The pitfalls of traditional discipline approaches with neurodivergent students

• Practical shifts educators and parents can make immediately
