About the Workshop

Are you a parent seeking practical strategies to support your child with neurodiversity? Whether you are navigating the challenges of learning difficulties, behaviour triggers, or the gap between home and school expectations, this workshop is designed to offer actionable solutions.

Join us for "Advancing Neurodiverse Student Potential: Holistic Solutions for Home and School", where you will gain clarity and understanding of the daily schooling experience for neurodiverse children, the triggers behind challenging behaviours, and practical ways to address these difficulties both at home and in the classroom. This 60-minute workshop, led by experts Olga Pavlova and Feliciea Jibson, will leave you equipped with tools to better support your child on their academic journey.

What You'll Learn

How can you identify and tackle the underlying reasons behind the challenges associated with Autism, ADHD, ADD, Dyspraxia, ODD, and PDA

Our comprehensive, holistic approach makes it possible to identify and achieve peaceful, fulfilling, and consistent child development in a sustainable way.

Why Root Causes Matter

Understanding and addressing the root causes is crucial for optimal development. Many children with neurodiversity do not experience meltdowns, poor emotional control, sleep difficulties, or speech delays. By pinpointing the root causes, you can help your child overcome these limiting conditions to thrive and lead a smoother, more fulfilling life.

How to Transform Your Child's Development Journey

Unlock the potential within your child by addressing the root causes of their struggles. Join us and embark on a journey towards a brighter, more balanced future for you and your child.

What holistic methods can help your child start to develop, communicate effectively, and succeed through education

Discover a balanced nutritional approach that will boost your child’s development and learn precisely what we mean by healthy food.

You will also understand which food types negatively affect the immune system and deplete the body of crucial minerals and vital nourishment, widening the gap between what your child needs and what they are receiving to keep growing.

Learn how you can start addressing your child's eating challenges and preferences.

What activities can you do with your child at home to positively impact neurodiversity

Did you know that different activities can have positive and negative impacts on your child? Sometimes, they can cause more agitation and quickly become toxic or overwhelming.

Sometimes, it can simply be the "right" activity at the "wrong" time. So, at the training, you will discover what kinds of activities are "nourishing" and needed for your neurodiverse child.

What stimuli does your child need, and how can you avoid over and under-stimulation

The wrong type of stimulation can be devastating for some children. Additionally, the more challenges a child faces, the more this topic needs to be addressed sensibly.

So, during the training, you will learn how to determine which stimuli to observe and what changes to make.

How can you nourish your child’s emotions

You will learn practical tips and techniques for releasing emotional dysregulations and outbursts and restoring balance to your child’s body and mind.

How to maximise success for both you and your neurodiverse child with the right habits

You will discover routines that can help you avoid stress and establish clear expectations and boundaries for your child, reducing anxiety and transitioning challenges.
