School isn’t one-size-fits-all, and for neurodivergent kids, it rarely feels like it was made with them in mind.

In this Divergent Discussion, we’re joined by Sarah Hayden, a neurodivergent educator and parent who’s navigated schooling from both sides of the system. Whether it’s mainstream, homeschool, flexi-school, or unschooling, Sarah’s seen the benefits and the challenges.

This session is for anyone parenting, caring for, or supporting neurodivergent children who need an environment that truly gets them.

🧠 What We’ll Talk About:

• What makes school hard for neurodivergent kids (and what helps)

• Exploring the different schooling options (mainstream, alternative, homeschool etc.)

• How to advocate for your child’s needs in and out of the classroom

• Emotional labour, burnout, and the toll on parents

• Making peace with non-traditional paths

✅ Open to everyone
✅ Bring your questions
✅ Leave with insight and connection
