Thinking Outside the Box of the Neurodevelopmental Pathway - for Schools

Children and young people can present with a wide range of difficulties in school – sometimes linked to neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD or autism, but often with many other contributing factors.

This free CPD event for teachers, SENCOs, school leaders, and education professionals will explore how schools can better recognise signs, support pupils effectively, and understand the wider picture beyond the traditional neurodevelopmental pathway.

You’ll hear from two leading specialists who combine medical expertise with a neuroaffirmative approach:

• Dr Joe Datt, Consultant Paediatrician & Neurodevelopmental Specialist
• Dr Bradley Powell, Chartered Clinical Psychologist

Both will share practical insights to help you support students’ learning, wellbeing, and future outcomes.

The evening will include two short presentations (30 minutes each), followed by a Q&A and open discussion.

Why Attend?

✅ Gain expert insights on ADHD, autism, and child development
✅ Understand how to spot the signs – and what else it might be
✅ Learn practical strategies to support pupils in the classroom
✅ Network with other education professionals
✅ Free to attend, exclusively for schools
