Neurodiversity Parenting
Neurodiversity is the concept that differences in neurology and brain functioning are a natural part of our diversity as a species. Neurodiversity Parenting is a unique online class and parent group designed for parents of school-age children with Autism, ADHD, sensory differences, learning disabilities, and other brain-based differences. This unique experience will give you new ways to understand and respond to your child's behavior, greater confidence in your parenting, and support on your parenting journey. Registration fee of $300 covers 6 sessions. One or two parents/caregivers may attend for a single registration fee. The next session starts September 11, 2023.
