When a child or teen is struggling, it is easy for the questions to become: How do we fix this? How do we stop this? How do we help them fit?

What changes when we look differently at neurodiversity and ask different questions?

Four workshops. Four ways of looking.

1 September — Questioning assumptions
Expanding possibilities through curiosity
We'll explore some of the assumptions surrounding neurodiversity, learning and behaviour, and what can become possible when we begin to question the rules and expectations we often don't notice.

8 September — Relationships
What changes when we stop looking at people in isolation?
We'll look beyond the individual to explore what happens between people, environments, expectations and experiences. Looking at how changing a relationship can change what becomes possible.

15 September — Movement
Before we ask how to stop movement, let's ask what it is.
We'll question some of the cultural assumptions we have about stillness, attention and participation, and explore what movement may be doing rather than treating it simply as something to stop.

22 September — Traces
How do we notice the patterns that were always there?
In the final workshop we'll bring the previous weeks together and explore a practical way of noticing the small patterns and traces of everyday life that can help us ask different questions.

These are participatory workshops, with room for discussion, reflection and practical activities. You don't need specialist knowledge, just curiosity and a willingness to look again.

A workshop series for those who live and work alongside neurodivergent children & young people. You can attend an individual workshop or join the full four-part series.
