Overview
Date: Wednesday 15 July 2026
Join us for an engaging and practical CPD workshop designed especially for educators who want to deepen their understanding and strengthen inclusive practice. Through interactive, evidence-informed learning brought to life with experiential activities, you’ll explore how executive functioning and sensory differences shape emotions, routines, and learning.
Together, we’ll develop flexible classroom adjustments using Universal Design for Learning, experiment with creative tools that help children explore identity, emotions, triggers, and safety mapping, and consider how to work systemically with strong ethical boundaries, cultural humility, and safeguarding at the forefront. You’ll leave with clear strategies, practical resources, and confidence in documenting decisions through adjustment maps and focused next-step plans.
Highlights
- Build confidence supporting ADHD, Autism, and combined profiles
- Capture the real experiences of neurodivergent learners
- Walk away with ready to use classroom strategies
- Delivered in collaboration with Mensah Wellbeing practitioners, specialists in ADHD, ASD assessments, support and wellbeing.
