About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join Bristol Parent Carers and Catrina Lowri from Neuroteachers for Understanding Neurodivergence in Early Years.

Neurodivergence is a difference not a deficit.

The term covers a variety of different conditions such as Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia as well as cognition and learning needs such as Down's Syndrome or Global Developmental Delay.

It can be hard for parents to differentiate between what is an age related matter and what is caused by a neurodivergent need.

In this training session we will look at typical, age related development in babies and children aged 0-5.

We will then outline how to differentiate between stages of play, physical development, communication, sensory needs, emotional development and possible neurodivergent needs.

Book your place to secure your spot.

*Please note, to attend this event you must live in Bristol (your bin will be collected by Bristol City Council) or your child must attend a school in the Bristol city area and you must have a child with Special Educational Needs but they do not need to have a diagnosis.

Bristol Parent Carers

Bristol Parent Carers is a friendly group of volunteer parent carers, caring for children and young people (0-25 years) with Special Educational Needs, and Disabilities (SEND) who live in Bristol. Our expanding group comes from all different backgrounds and communities in Bristol.

We offer support and signposting for families across Bristol to that they receive the right support, at the right time, and in the right way. We also work together with local SEND services across Health, Education and Social Care, in order to shape the experiences that services provide for all families in Bristol. It's really important to share your views with us so that we can use your feedback to ensure local services deliver the kind of support local families expect.
