Are you wondering if your child is neurodivergent - but it feels like you're stepping into a confusing world with a whole new language? You may worry that your child's difficulties are your fault - or perhaps others are suggesting that.
In this course, Dr Naomi Fisher will explain the concept of neurodiversity and how it differs to other ways of understanding difference. She'll discuss the research evidence and what it actually says about behaviour and neurological differences. She'll talk about ways in which we understand difference and how these show up for both parents and children.
She'll then talk about the process of diagnosis and how to talk about neurodiversity with your child. She'll finish by asking what the psychological evidence suggests children need to thrive - and how parents can create an environment within which children can have the space to grow. This course is suitable for families with or without a diagnosis.
This course is based on psychological research, theory and clinical practice. It is divided into short modules because we know how hard it is to find extended chunks of time. These are accompanied by handouts. You'll finish the course with a new insight into neurodiversity and understanding difference, and some ideas and strategies to help your child - and your whole family - flourish.
This course is available to watch for 12 months after purchase.

Many neurodivergent teens are struggling to attend school, and lots of them become completely unable to attend. But what happens next? Teenagers often believe they must be at school to learn, and that their future is over. This isn't true. We don't talk much about education outside school, but it's happening all around us. In this new course, Naomi will give you some ideas to help your teenager re-engage with learning and see a life beyond school. This course focuses on the learning and educational journey, rather than mental health.
