Beautiful Minds: Caring for Children with Neurodiversity

Join Tina Geers, ECE Coach & Play Advocate from Inspired Minds for this workshop:

« Children who are neurodivergent grow just like every other child, just at their own pace and in their own way. Sometimes, though, it can be difficult for adults to learn how to engage and be responsive to a child who is neurodivergent. In this workshop, I will share with you my own experiences as an individual with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and offer perspectives and approaches to consider when caring for our young children who march to their own beat. We will discuss three neurodiversity: ADHD, Autism, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), and how to be responsive to their needs and abilities. Forming the foundation of positive relationships at the heart of our connections with children. Let’s discover how we can embrace the beautiful minds of children who are neurodivergent. »
