Description
Overview
Are you passionate about making schools more inclusive for every learner?
Wondering how to turn “neurodiversity-affirming” principles into everyday classroom practice?
Looking for practical, evidence-based strategies that support not only neurodivergent students but the whole school community?
Join us for this free webinar designed for mental health clinicians and school psychologists who want to create environments where all students can thrive.
This 60-minute session explores how psychologists and educators can work together to embed neurodiversity-affirming approaches in schools. You’ll gain both a theoretical foundation—understanding the neurodiversity paradigm and its relevance to school systems—and practical tools you can use immediately in your work with students, teachers, and families.
Key topics include:
- Understanding the neurodiversity paradigm and its application within educational contexts
- Identifying and addressing barriers that impact learning and participation for neurodivergent students
- Building collaboration between psychologists, teachers, and parents to support individual and systemic change
- Implementing inclusive practices that promote wellbeing, engagement, and success for all learners
Participants will leave with fresh insights, actionable strategies, and renewed confidence to help schools move from awareness to authentic neurodiversity-affirming practice—where difference is recognised as an essential part of human diversity.
Perfect for psychologists, school counsellors, educators, and allied health professionals seeking to strengthen their capacity to support neurodivergent students and foster inclusive school cultures.
All registered participants will receive a recording of this webinar as well as resources following the event.
