Our current offering includes:
- Neuro-affirming Approach (by Jane Murrihy)
- Discover how to shift from a deficit-based model to a neuro-affirming approach that celebrates neurological differences.
- For Teachers: Learn to use inclusive, strength-based language and implement practical classroom adjustments—across environment, communication, and task design—to ensure neurodivergent students thrive. This workshop provides the essential tools to build a truly inclusive, supportive, and accessible learning community for every brain.
- ADHD (by Dr Terence Ma, Educational Psychologist)
- Dr. Terence Ma’s workshops reframe ADHD as a neurological difference rather than a deficit, focusing on leveraging individual strengths like creativity and high energy. He provides evidence-based, culturally sensitive strategies that combine executive function scaffolding with family-centered support to foster emotional regulation and success.
