About the event
Workshop also accessible online
An empowering session designed to support families of neurodiverse children and young people.
Are you looking for practical ways to help your child build confidence and independence as they grow?
Join us as we explore the crucial role of executive functioning, the brain's management system, and how it influences everyday life. You'll gain valuable insights into the challenges that can arise when executive functioning is impaired and learn effective, supportive strategies tailored for neurodiverse youth.
In this session, you’ll discover:
🦉 What executive functioning is and how it affects behaviour and decision-making
🦉 Common obstacles faced by neurodiverse children and teens
🦉 Tools to encourage self-motivation and independence
🦉 Practical support in areas like budgeting, financial literacy, and living skills
This session is free and open to parent carers of children with additional needs and/or disabilities in Somerset.
Booking is required to secure your space.
