Supporting our Neurodiverse Young People

Neurodiversity, the natural variation in how individual brains function, is one of humanity's greatest strengths.

During this session Mel Jeffery (they/them), Autistic & ADHD parent & Social Worker will share their experience navigating life with a mind that the world doesn't always cater for.

Mel will share:
• the concept of neurodiversity & their own experience of coming to understand and celebrate the things
that make them different
• the positive wellbeing outcomes possible for all children through valuing neurodiversity
• practical tips and examples for creating affirming environments where all children can thrive
