To mark World Autism Acceptance Week, we’re inviting SENCOs, pastoral staff and headteachers to an event to help them identify neurodivergent children earlier.
Summary:
Date: Weds 29th March
Time: 10 am to 12 pm
Location: Kingsway House, Worcester
Cost: free
Purpose:
Key2Confidence founder, Patsy Holbrook, will be hosting the event. Patsy will share lots of useful information in her presentation, including:
- A recap of ‘textbook’ traits
- Subtle signs that are easy to overlook
- Debunking the myths around gender presentation
- Five zero-cost ways to minimise students’ anxiety so they can concentrate on learning
In addition, she’ll be joined by teenagers who have volunteered to tell their stories of resilience and trauma. Having found their voices, they will use this platform to explain how schools could have better met their needs.
