Understanding Neurodiversity (Term 3, 2026)

Understanding Neurodiversity

Building understanding, confidence, and inclusion for neurodivergent children and young people.

This informative and engaging workshop provides an accessible introduction to neurodiversity, helping participants better understand the unique strengths, challenges, and experiences of children and young people who think, learn, communicate, and engage with the world differently.

Together, we will explore a range of neurodevelopmental conditions and learning differences, including:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Dyslexia

• Dyscalculia

• Dysgraphia

• Dyspraxia

• Intellectual Disability

Participants will gain practical knowledge about how neurodivergence may present in everyday settings such as home, school, sporting clubs, community programs, and social environments. The session will challenge common misconceptions while promoting a strengths-based understanding of neurodiversity.

This workshop is designed to be practical, welcoming, and easy to understand, regardless of your previous knowledge or experience. Participants will have opportunities to ask questions, share experiences, and learn strategies that can be applied immediately in their everyday interactions with neurodivergent children and young people.

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, carer, teacher, early childhood educator, sports coach, volunteer, youth worker, or simply interested in learning more, this session will provide valuable insights into fostering understanding, acceptance, and inclusion.

Everyone deserves to feel understood, valued, and supported. Join us as we expl
