Family Support network Hosts: UNDERSTANDING NEURODIVERSITY–an introduction for parents and caregivers
In September, the Family Support Network (FSN) launched a year-long virtual workshop cohort focused on neurodiversity–what it is and what it means for children’s development.
Delving Deeper into Neurodiversity through a 10-month Series of Virtual Worshops
The first session, Understanding Neurodiversity–An Introduction for Parents and Caregivers, provided parents and caregivers with an evening of learning and sharing, centering on equipping attendees with practical tools to recognize neurodiversity and navigate its impact on their children’s lives.
This was the first in the year-long series, which parents and caregivers are welcome to join at any time.
