This one-day training aims to enable frontline staff who work with children and young people have a solid understanding of neurodiversity, an appreciation of its differing presentations affecting assessment and diagnosis of children and young people as well as an understanding of global risks associated with neurodiversity. The trainer aims for the participants to move away from a single lens focus and for participants to see the whole child/young person so they may work optimally with other services.
