Parenting Sessions: Coming in Term 2

We have been able to connect with some local external organisations to run some parenting programs at our school for our local community in Term 2- which I am pumped about!

I am looking to check in with our school community to see how many parents may be interested in exploring the following programs:

ADHD & Me

In this 2h workshop, the centre for Perinatal Health and Parenting will focus on empowering parents to explore all things ADHD! The session will cover:

· What techniques can I use to support ADHD sensory needs and behaviours in the home?

A space is provided for Q&A for any specific questions you might have about neurodiversity.
