Neurodivergent Parent Education Workshops
Six-week In-person Workshop Series for Parents of Neurodivergent Children
Neuroscience in a Nutshell
U.C. Berkeley Lecturer Gustav Steinhardt kicks off each week with a bite-sized neuroscience concept to help us understand our children’s brains.
Parenting Community Support
Parent-led discussions help us understand our experiences, connect with each other, and give our children neurodivergent-affirming care.
Neurodiversity
Advocacy
Knowledge of neurodiversity gives parents frameworks to help us advocate for our children with spouses, teachers, doctors, and school psychologists.
The Neurodiversity Paradigm
Neurodiversity isn’t about superpowers or deficits—it’s about navigating norms. We’ll compare the medical, social, and ecological models of neurodiversity, then explore the ways motivation and self-regulation can be misunderstood in neurodivergent minds. Small shifts in perspective can lead to big changes in support.
Knowledge you can use together
All behavior is communication—an attempt to meet an unmet need. We’ll explore how labels shape identity, how norms can lead to masking, and how we can advocate for our children using language that’s empowered and informed.
