Neurodiversity in schools, colleges and nurseries.
Training is available both In-Person and Online for UK and International Schools.
Neurodiversity is a concept of belonging within your educational setting. We provide neuroinclusion training for all levels of education. The titles below can be adapted for ages and stages of your neurodivergent learners. We believe passionately that neuroinclusion in education benefits everyone. We specialise in reducing exclusion improving attainment and raising attendance for neurodivergent pupils. Our neurodiversity for teachers programs can help educators tweak existing skills to make learning more accessible without creating more work.
