Introduction to Neurodiversity

Understanding Neurodiversity – A Guide for Parents and Families

Every mind works differently, and that difference is something to celebrate.

This webinar explores the fundamentals of neurodiversity, helping families understand what it means, why it matters, and how awareness can nurture confidence, wellbeing, and connection at home and in learning.

Together, we’ll explore:

• What neurodiversity really means: breaking down myths and celebrating the full range of human thinking styles.
• What it means to be neurodiverse: hearing examples and lived experiences that bring these ideas to life.
• Why awareness matters: how understanding neurodiversity supports emotional health, learning, and family relationships.
• The neurodiversity umbrella: autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and more: what connects them and how each mind is unique.
• Knowing your learner: recognising your child’s strengths, challenges, and ways to thrive in school and beyond.

Who it’s for:

Parents, carers, and families who want to better understand neurodiversity, build empathy, and create supportive environments where every child can flourish.
