Early Childhood Bundle

Build a stronger, more neurodiversity-affirming approach to recognising, understanding and supporting autistic and neurodivergent children across early childhood and primary settings.

This five-webinar bundle brings together practical training for educators, psychologists, allied health professionals and others working with young children and families. Across the series, you’ll explore early signs of autism, first conversations with families, neurodivergent play, sensory regulation, brain styles and practical approaches for supporting PDAers.

Rather than focusing on making neurodivergent children appear more neurotypical, the training centres understanding, communication, regulation, autonomy and environments that better fit the child.
