Being Neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, Dyslexic, Dyspraxic, etc) Training

Join us for a friendly and informative journey to explore neurodivergence, what it is, and why we all need to know about it!
About this Event

Join us on a free training day with SpectrumHeads CIC, for a friendly and informative journey to explore neurodivergence.

From a lived experience, peer perspective and social model of disability, we will explore common characteristics and unique experiences of neurodivergent individuals.

We aim to provide you with a refreshing and positive learning experience whilst supporting you to adapt your own working practice to become more neuroinclusive.

This training will be split into 2 parts:

10am - 1pm - Session 1
1pm - 2pm - Lunch
2pm - 4pm - Session 2

Our free training programme is primarily aimed at new and developing groups, but sessions are open to anyone in Derby City working or volunteering with a VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) organisation.
