Nurturing Healthy Minds - Neurodiversity

The word neurodiversity has become common in our education system and an increasing number of learners are being diagnosed with conditions such as ADHD, autism and dyslexia. For educators this can be daunting, especially in a classroom where there are a number of neurodiverse learners.

In this workshop, neuroscience trainer Kathryn Berkett explains how the brain develops and influences behaviour. You’ll learn:

• common characteristics of neurodiverse learners
• how the classroom environment can impact them
• strategies to support neurodiverse tamariki
• the impact you can have on all learners.

Hosted by experienced facilitator Cat Levine, these workshops are designed for teachers and learning support staff  across the education system - from early childhood through to secondary schools.  

Workshops for individuals are held on weekdays from 3.30-5pm.

We are also able to offer private sessions for school groups at a convenient time for your team – either during the school day or after 3pm. Private sessions can be delivered online to any school, or in person to Auckland schools. These are perfect for teacher only days or getting your team together before the start of term.

Cost

Individuals: $85 pp or $80 pp for groups of 10 or more (plus GST). Payment can be made online via credit card or via invoice direct to your school.
