Childhood neurodivergence: Understanding and Supporting Behaviour

When distressed, neurodivergent children and young people may show behaviours that are difficult for the adults around them. This workshop explores how to understand behaviour and how parents/carers can support their neurodivergent child with behaviours of distress.
