This webinar will provide carers with the latest, up to date, lived experience research around neurodivergence – Autism & ADHD – including Monotropism, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), the Double Empathy Problem, and more.
The session will:
- Facilitate a carer’s understanding of the neurodivergent child/teen’s internal experiences and processes
- Support carers to understand the ‘why’ behind behaviours they may encounter
- Provide a sound understanding about the intersection of trauma and neurodivergence along with practical strategies on how to support the child in care when the challenges arise.
- Build the carer’s confidence in supporting the neurodivergent child or teen in their care
A PDF copy of the slides will be provided to all attendees. There will be time for discussion and Q&A at the end of the presentation.
