Neuro-Inclusive Future: Embracing Neurodiversity in the Home

Embracing Neurodiversity in the Home

Neurodiversity offers a powerful way to understand and support children whose brains are wired differently, celebrating their unique strengths and perspectives rather than seeing differences as deficits. This comprehensive online event is designed to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and practical strategies needed to create nurturing, inclusive home environments that support neurodivergent children in thriving emotionally, socially, and academically.

Every child experiences the world in their own distinctive way—how they perceive, process, and respond to stimuli, information, and emotions varies widely. This workshop explores how embracing neurodiversity transforms family life by fostering acceptance, reducing misunderstandings, and promoting each child’s well-being and development.

Guided by Angela Beattie, an expert in neurodiversity and parent to a neurodivergent child, this session combines professional insight with lived experience. Together, we will examine the evolving understanding of neurodiversity and diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, demystifying common challenges families face during assessment and daily life.

You will gain a deep understanding of how neurodivergent traits impact behaviour, learning, social skills, and emotional needs, and explore ways to create a safe, supportive home environment that values your child’s individuality. Practical guidance will address common pain points such as sensory sensitivities, homework struggles, emotional regulation, and building positive friendships.

Key Themes Covered

• Understanding neurodiversity in the family context and why it matters for parenting and caregiving.
• The impact of autism, ADHD, and dyslexia on family dynamics, wellbeing, and child development.
