SUMMARY:Workshop: Neurodiversity and Your Unit
DESCRIPTION:Do you really know your girls? \nYou probably already know which girls love being first to try something new\, and which ones need a little more time. You might have noticed one who finds the noise of a busy evening overwhelming\, or another who asks the same question three times — not because she wasn’t listening\, but because she needs to be sure. \nThese small observations matter more than you might think. \nNeurodiversity — including autism — is often quieter and harder to spot than people expect\, and girls in particular are often skilled at masking how they’re really feeling. That means the ones who need the most support are sometimes the ones who seem fine. \nWe’re running a 2-hour interactive workshop to help you tune into these signals and adapt the way you communicate and design activities — so every girl in your unit feels like she truly belongs. \nBefore you come along\, take a moment to reflect on your girls: \n\nHave you noticed any particular differences in the way one of your girls expresses herself\, communicates with others\, or interacts socially?\nHave you noticed differences in how some of your girls respond to sensory experiences — noise\, textures\, lights\, busy environments?\nAre there girls for whom order\, certainty\, familiarity and routine feel really important — who find changes to plans especially difficult?\n\nIf any faces came to mind reading those questions\, this workshop is for you. \nClick here for booking form \nThis workshop will be facilitated by an external professional\, Guy Rands\, who is a psychotherapist\, educator\, and facilitator with a unique background in science\, education\, and mental health practice. As a former scientist and headteacher\, he brings rigorous thinking and deep understanding to his work. Guy helps people notice patterns\, strengths\, and stories they might not otherwise see. \n
