Neurodiverse Connections with Children: A Learning Circle

In this interactive learning circle, participants will explore using reflective practice tools to engage and connect meaningfully with neurodiverse children. Oftentimes, the barriers to authentic connections and meaningful relationships are identified through big behaviours and lack of preventative engagement. As we examine with a lens of shared vulnerability, our aim will be to create a space of safety and curiosity to investigate the roadblocks to showing up for each other and all children in our care. The journey of deeper thinking using key relational concepts from an interdisciplinary perspective will encourage us to analyze our viewpoints and consider the “why” and “how” we show up.
