About this event

Family & Education • Education

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

Why Attend?

Neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyspraxia / DCD are common among children and adolescents. These young people often have challenges that affect their well-being and behaviour. But there are things that all of us can do to help and support them.

What You Will Gain:

  • An In-Depth Understanding: Hear about the latest research on masking and its long-term effects on young people, presented in clear, accessible language.
  • Practical Strategies: Gain effective techniques to support both diagnosed and undiagnosed students in primary and secondary settings.
  • Inclusive Teaching: Learn how to create a supportive environment that celebrates neurodiversity and encourages authenticity.

Hosted by EPIC Think Learn, a social enterprise dedicated to providing resources and services for young people with neurodevelopmental conditions, as well as their parents, teachers, and clinicians.
