Neurodivergence Primary - Embracing Difference

Embracing difference is a 6-session recorded group for parents of primary aged children who are neurodivergent or present with developmental divergence. The group aims to provide parents with up-to-date information and strategies to support their child, to optimise their learning and reduce distress. It The also offers strategies to support parental self-care and wellbeing.

Embracing Difference draws from current research and evidence-based practice to provide information on how to support children who are neuro-divergent. Each week focusses on a different area and provides strategies and information for parents to use with their child, in order to support them to flourish.
