About this event
A look at the reality of neurodiversity as it applies to all human folk – neurotypical, neurodivergent and beyond. We are all part of what it is to be neurologically diverse!
A workshop to help you learn, reconsider, rethink and open yourself to new reflections about our colourful brains! A chance also to come together and connect with others and find appreciation for yourself and new people you may meet during the workshop.
Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event
- A better and broader understanding of neurodiversity.
- Greater awareness of neurodiversity in yourself and others.

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?

How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?
- It will enable deeper and more reflective thought on how one approaches neurodivergence in their practice and also hopefully help them consider themselves and their own influence on the way they work with others.

Amy Ponter
Naturally compelled to help others above all else, I am an autistic person deeply involved in supporting others through any means I am able. Whether this be through lived experience work or charitable voluntary work, or otherwise! I have considerable ‘living’ experience of a range of complex mental health and physical health conditions and of working in a range of organisations to assist wherever I can. Yet I also have a varied work background encompassing a range of sectors and job roles. Having completed considerable training in neurodiversity through the National Autism Trainer Programme via Anna Freud and funded by the NHS and also the Oliver McGowan training, both of which enable me to provide training to others, I am deeply motivated to use my own neurodivergent brain for good. I certainly try anyway!
