Defiance or dread? Why do some children find school so hard, and what can we do to help them?

While the rest of the world is decking the halls with boughs of holly and ringing out the Christmas bells for all they’re worth, many families with neurodivergent children are dealing with a very different sort of Christmas - a Christmas where overstimulated children who hate loud noises, strange flavours, unfamiliar visitors, unusual sensations, changes from routine, and unexpected surprises are trying to negotiate a month or more of all of those delights.

Join us for an evening of tips and tales to help you through the Christmas season.

What happens when you first realise or suspect that your child is or may be neurodivergent (and what IS neurodivergence anyway)?

Who do you talk to? What do you tell them? Where do you get help? What sort of life will your child have? What will your parenting journey look like?
