Come join us for a fun and informative 6 week programme focused on helping young people in school years 7-9 (ages 11-14) better understand their Autism and ADHD.
The sessions are tailored to help young people learn more about neurodiversity and their own experiences. Through interactive sessions, the young people can discuss their strengths, challenges, and strategies for navigating daily life.
Key themes include identifying your needs and communication preferences, navigating friendships, problem-solving, advocacy, and becoming more confident and happier.
The activities and discussions aim to enhance self-awareness, boost self-esteem, and improve confidence.
The programme will also include signposting to support and services tailored to the young people’s needs. By the end of the 6-week programme, it is hoped that the young people will leave with a stronger sense of empowerment in embracing their neurodiversity.
