Neurodiversity Affirming Practice – Introductory 2-hour Workshop – NZ Edition!
For Speech Language Therapists in New Zealand who Support Neurodivergent Children
You’re across the terms ‘Neurodiversity’ ‘Neurodivergent’ and you know a bit about what Neurodiversity Affirming means. But it can be a whole other big step putting your great intentions into practice and feeling confident that your therapy supports, beliefs and practices are aligned with the Neurodiversity Affirming movement.
I’m here to help you feel more knowledgeable, clear and confident!
The New Zealand Live workshop is now closed. Check out my on-demand workshop to register and watch any time!
Why learn with me?
I'm an Autistic ADHDer with over a decade's experience working professionally as a speech therapist, with autistic & neurodivergent children, their families, and their support networks. I've been an educator in various settings for almost 20 years, and I'm absolutely dedicated to helping others learn, reflect and take action on big concepts and ideas.
I make learning fun, engaging, relevant, and practical. I blend lived experience, personal reflection, clinical experience and evidence-based practice (with a critical lens!)
More than 900 professionals have taken my Neurodiversity Affirming Practice workshops and webinars to date! I hope you'll join us!
Here's what others have said about my Neurodiversity Affirming Practice training:
"I enjoyed it all. I love that you are encouraging us all to see things from a different and much more inclusive perspective. I particularly enjoyed the case studies and thinking about what neuroaffirming responses might be in these given situations"
"Thank you so much Adina, I always have so many ah huh moments and feel like my own thoughts and challenges are validated!"
"Adina was so positive with everyone and supportive of where they are at on their neuro-affirming journey."
"I appreciate your approach - important to be critical of all approaches, but not every approach is bad (some parts may be, but some parts can be useful). Also appreciate that you recognise that this is a massive cultural shift for society - some of us will move quickly and others of us will need time."
