Video: Understanding Neurodiverse Children

Speaker
Dr Bettina Hohnen

Discover how to recognise and support neurodivergent learners with evidence-based advice and lived experiences from leading psychologists, educators, and families.

• What neurodiversity is - and why every child’s brain works differently
• How masking can hide Autism or ADHD, especially in girls
• The overlap between neurodivergent experiences, like Dyslexia, ADHD, and Autism
• Practical strategies to build confidence, self-esteem, communication and reduce anxiety
