Accepting their neurodivergence and being their authentic self can be difficult for many neurodivergent young people, leading them to masking or camouflaging behaviours. Masking is particularly common in girls, but can also be an issue for boys.
However, research shows that masking is often ineffective, causes overwhelm and is linked to anxiety and depression.
Join us for this webinar designed to empower educators with the tools and insights needed to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for these neurodivergent children and young people.
Who Should Attend:
We will offer practical strategies for supporting children and young people aged 8-19, making this session ideal for both primary and secondary school teachers.
This webinar costs £8 to attend or £12 including a recording.Nb: This is a per-person price. If you want to attend as a group, please email hello@epicthinklearn.com
