HERE’S WHATS NEW FOR 2024

A Virtual Conference For Everyone!

With the return of our two-day virtual neurodivergence conference, this is all possible.  Back for its 4th year, The Nurturing Neurodivergence Programme is running again on 17th & 18th October 2024.

We will be joined by 10 internationally renowned speakers who will provide you with their experiential insight and give you the toolkit you need to understand the needs of any neurodivergent individuals you are living or working with.

With interactive workshops, case studies and the opportunity to ask our speakers questions based on your own challenges and experience, you will leave this conference feeling better equipped to help them to thrive and achieve their individual potential.

Our Aims & Values:

We are a Neurodivergent led organisation which aims to break down the stigma of disabilities,  advocate for the importance of authenticity and autonomy, whilst supporting everyone’s right to self-advocacy.

Calm, Connection and Co-Regulation® are at the heart of EVERYTHING that we do.

What is this?

2 FULL days of Neurodivergence focused, and Neurodivergent led training!

Where is this being held?

It is all online so no travelling fees, hotel costs, long distance journeys or SOCIAL HANGOVERS!

Who is this for?

Basically EVERYONE but crucially for those who are involved in the teaching and support of, as well as those living with and caring for neurodivergent pupils, children or adults.

Do I have to be there LIVE?

Absolutely not! This is Online and Recorded for those who cannot make the live sessions. Recordings will be available to watch for 60 days after the event and usually take 2 weeks to be sent out, as they are professionally edited. Please note the workshops are interactive only and therefore cannot be recorded.

17th & 18th October 2024 at 9am-4pm BST. We have included speaker times in EST and AET for convenience.

CONNECTION

Neurodivergent-led Training

Those caring for our Neurodivergent young people are often the most inspirational people in our young people’s lives. But whether they (you!) are a professional, parent or carer, they are probably overworked, largely underpaid and hugely under-appreciated.  Access to training is potluck and access to the right kind of training is like finding a needle in a haystack.

So we are inviting you to come and take part in what we hope to be a life-changing event.

We will give you the opportunity to look through a different lens; one that brings about change, diversity, inclusion, acceptance and understanding.  One where disability is not stigmatised by the judgment of a label.

We do NOT learn from TEXTBOOKS at The Nurture Programme®.  We learn from those of us who are neurodivergent, who have lived experiences and seen first-hand what living in a world geared towards non-neurodivergence is like.

Nurturing the next generation

Children who are diagnosed or self-identified (because that is accepted just as much as a formal diagnosis) as Autistic, ADHD and PDA or other neurodivergence, are often misunderstood and sanctioned, with many being placed in isolation, excluded, sectioned, imprisoned or worse – all because they cannot manage within mainstream environments.

With long waiting list times for services, our children are being failed.

Often, these children and adults are simply misunderstood, and their needs aren’t being met. The education system has been built on the assumption that whilst differentiation is required, all children will fit into this mainstream picture and thrive. This isn’t the case, and the rise in need for EHCPs and support is a significant indication that if we always do what we have always done, then nothing will change.

It’s not surprising then that those unsupported children will grow into unsupported adults who are in crisis.

Our two-day conference is the opportunity for us ALL to come together and learn how best to engage, support and nurture the next generation.

We are inviting you to come and take part in what we hope to be a life-changing event

AARON YORKE - ACCEPTING BEHAVIOUR

PRESENTATION

Presentation Title:

PDA & ADHD Support for Unique Learners

Presentation Description:

 

AARON'S BIO

Accepting Behaviour was set up in 2019 by specialist teachers Aaron & Jayne Yorke to provide an acceptance-based support service for schools and families supporting autistic children and those with ADHD, social communication, and interaction differences. We are based in Worcestershire in the West Midlands and provide nationwide support.

As parents of two autistic children, we are aware of the need for the right support due to the pressures which families face throughout their child’s educational journey. When a child or young person cannot cope in school, support is limited and often difficult to access. Our aim for Accepting Behaviour is to be a service provider that can offer support at the right time without having to wait for it.

  • 20 years of experience as a qualified specialist teacher & autism advisor for Local Authorities, with a BSc in Psychology, QTS, & PGC in Autism.
  • Qualified Teacher status working as an SEN Teacher, Autism specialism.
  • Post Grad Certificate In Asperger Syndrome from Sheffield University.
  • LA autism advisor for the Birmingham Local Authority. His role involved advising schools on supporting autistic children and young people. He was also an Autism Post 16 lead support advisor, worked with the Children Out of School provision, and was required to write outcomes for Education Health Care Plans.

PRESENTATION

Presentation Title: Amplifying young Autistic voices earlier: unlocking the potential of high tech AAC for authentic communication (and leaving PECS behind)

Presentation Description: Hear how high tech AAC is helping young Autistic children learn words faster and easier to enable authentic and autonomous communication.  Find out why it is essential that we embrace the unique opportunities offered by high tech AAC in order to meet a child’s right to access communication.  Discover the critical steps to integrating high tech AAC into family life in a way that is successful and sustainable. 

WORKSHOP

Workshop Title: The Essential Steps needed to Teach High Tech AAC To An Autistic Child Without Giving Up On Speech

Workshop Description: Get clear on what ‘Teaching high tech AAC’ looks like when introducing AAC to a child for the first time (spoiler:  it’s not about ‘teaching’!)  Dive deeper on the essential steps to get started with high tech AAC quickly and effectively to transform communication for children who are nonspeaking AND for children who have many spoken words.

PRESENTATION

Parent Carer Blame and Fabricated and Induced Illness

Join Mary and Tanya as they delve into the topic of parent blaming and accusations of Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII) in Social Care. This session will clarify what FII is and what it is not, providing a clear understanding of the issue. We will also explore key aspects of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) guidance on this sensitive matter.

WORKSHOP

Social Care Uncovered: Navigating Support

This workshop aims to help parents demystify social care support and explore practical tools to understand the available support and how and when to access it. 

Additionally, we will cover advocacy skills and provide guidance on navigating social care effectively.

PRESENTATION

Presentation Title: Autism & Anxiety

Presentation Description: Based on his (self professed) golden equation of autism + environment = outcome Luke argues that anxiety need not be as much of the autistic experience as it so commonly is currently. He argues that society needs to change in order to meet autistic need rather than the onus often being on the autistic person to conform. Anxiety can be crippling for so many autistic children and adults and Luke is passionate that this can and should be changed as a matter of urgency.

KELLY MAHLER - OTD, OTR/L

PRESENTATION

Presentation Title:

Inner Harmony: The Influence of Co-Regulation on Interoception Growth

Presentation Description:

Interoception is an important sensory system that helps us to feel internal body signals like a full bladder, growling stomach, tense muscles or speeding heart. Our ability to notice and interpret these internal body signals enables us to accurately identify and manage how we feel.

Co-Regulation, rooted in curiosity and validation is one of the most overlooked, yet powerful interoception strategies we can offer our children (and ourselves!). Kelly’s talk will provide an overview of what the latest research and lived experience tells us about interoception and co-regulation, as well as how to apply this information to nurture interoception growth in a practical way.



KELLY'S BIO

Kelly Mahler OTD, OTR/L, earned a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University, Dallas, PA. She has been an occupational therapist for 20 years, serving school-aged children and adults.

DEAN BEADLE SPEAKER

CLOSING PERFORMANCE

Presentation Title:

Autistic Inertia & The Life Changing Power of NOPE!

Presentation Description:

The wonderful Dean Beadle will be back to close the 2024 conference with his talk & performance on “Autistic Inertia and the life changing power of NOPE”. As always, we can expect his session to be thought provoking, humorous & entertaining. You won’t want to miss it.

 

DEAN'S BIO

Dean Beadle is an autistic speaker, writer and singer who has spent nearly twenty years touring the UK and abroad speaking and performing at conferences, charity balls and webinars. All of his work is about advocating for a more accessible world for autistic people. He is a patron of three UK autism related charities. 

Days 1 & 2 (Both Days)

NEW FOR 2025!

An Autistic person with a PDA profile strives for fairness, to be Authentic, and to have autonomy over their own decisions and journey through life. When we continue to parent through societal norms and parenting beliefs bestowed upon us through our own journey of being parented we take this away from them, their threat response is likely to become so heightened that they will lose trust in the people around them, including those closest to them. 

Join us for this brand new programme delivered via a series of webinars and interactive guidance so your PDA child can develop the agency and autonomy needed in their lives in order to thrive.

Guide Five: RADICAL CONNECTION - Neuroparenting with Kristy Forbes & Jodie Isitt

Kristy and Jodie have worked together for a number of years and are completely aligned in their parenting, and in fact all round beliefs. Creating neuro-inclusive spaces, using neuro-affirmative approaches as standard. 

Week 3: Reasonable Adjustments

The pathway of SEN / EHCP’s / Reasonable adjustments and so forth can be a scary and bewildering place. But knowledge is POWER and this session aims to provide members with this power. 

Attendees will be given clear information and knowledge so they will be able to navigate these pathways armed with confidence. This will include basic law and children’s rights including ideas about what reasonable adjustments vs unreasonable adjustments are. We give examples of our own reasonable adjustments, how to ensure these adjustments are put in place and ideas on how to approach the professionals in your children’s lives to ensure that their needs are met. 

Members will also be equipped with ideas for “reasonable adjustments” versus “unreasonable adjustments”. A guest expert speaker – Karen Stepanova – SEN Consultant is arranged for this week who will give her very own presentations on the basics of SEN Law.

Week 4: Mental Health

In this session we look at how Imposter Syndrome can cause people to doubt their abilities.

The toll of advocating for children with additional needs can be detrimental to a parent or carer’s health. Our aim is to build up confidence and restore the mental health of parents or carers so that they have the inner strength to fight as hard as they can for their children.

This week focuses on changing negative thoughts to positive ones and helps restore the mental health of attendees. Jodie and Laura provide ‘Top Tips’ to staying mentally well during tricky times.  

Week 5: No-one can help me

What can I do? By week 5 we hope that all attendees will feel more confident, less stressed and have the skills and facts that they need to successfully advocate for their children. But we know that sometimes this is not enough.

The system can be fraught with challenges, and no matter how skilled you are, it can feel like your journey keeps being taken off track. In this session, an expert speaker will join to give fantastic advice on where to turn next when you feel you have exhausted all avenues. Practical advice regarding matters such as benefits, grants and additional sources of advice is also given, leaving the attendees feeling well equipped in their journey ahead.  

Guide Three: I'm Giving Up

Making sure that consistency is key, as our young people will not learn to trust us if we do not show them we are trustworthy. So making sure that when we start this process, we are committed to making it as successful as we possibly can.

Gaining trust, and keeping it is extremely important, however we all make mistakes, we will get triggered at some point, it is how we manage those mistakes that count. We are so used to being judged for our parenting choices, that throughout this session you be inspired to take back control of who you are, and give you the confidence to shut out the negative and leave more room for the positive.

Guide Two - Trust Your Gut

Guide Two: Trusting your instincts is a vital part of the process for RADICAL (UN)Parenting and we will discuss the many experiences of the facilitator and the learners where this has either proven to be true when listened to or when you wish you would have listened and acted on that gut feeling.

Briefly discussing methods of communication for the neurodivergent person and how important it is to study our young people intently so that we can begin to talk their language.  This session guides you back to your most confident, enabling those advocacy skills to flourish once more and encouraging you to always trust your gut.

Radical Guide Four: F*ck That Sh*t

Tuning out all the negative interference from around you will be crucial to enhancing your progression through this change, and this is something that will be difficult for a lot of families particularly when people are not yet ready to accept the RADICAL approach. Ditching the negative impacts on your parenting so that you can be free to be you. No shame. No judgment, just unapologetically you!

Join us whilst together we chant:   

F*ck That Sh*t

Week 2: Differences I May Experience

Focussing on the saying, “When you have met one autistic person you have met one autistic person” we will take a deeper dive into the way that autism effects everyone individually.  During this session we will look at sensory needs in more detail and provide some ideas to help keep autistic children more regulated.

Week 1: Introduction to ASC

We will explore the many aspects of being autistic or having an autistic family member. Jodie will share her road to diagnosis for her three children and finally herself and her own diagnosis in 2020 at 35 years of age.  This first week will lay the foundations for the rest of the Five week programme. 

Week 3: Advocating For My Autistic Child

Laura and Jodie feel that “small changes make a big difference” for autistic individuals – and during this session we will discuss helpful tips for parents and reasonable adjustments for schools and colleges. 

In this session you will also be able to ask us questions relevant to this topic and we will signpost you to other helpful organisations and sources of information related to Autism. 

Week 4: Sibling Support

There is no doubt that an autism diagnosis can affect the whole family.  In this fourth session we will explore the impact autism can have on families and siblings.

We will discuss lots of helpful approaches to help you support your whole family and explore the positive aspects of an autism diagnosis.  We will also discuss how to support siblings of autistic individuals using empathy and understanding whilst also covering the importance of looking after your own mental health as parents.

Week 5: The Autistic Experience

Chloe, Jodie and Laura will discuss the medical model of autism and some of the theories of autism which are now proven to be out-dated and detrimental to autistic individuals.

Chloe will talk using her personal insight as an autistic adult, will discuss effective ways to support the mental well-being of autistic individuals and answer questions from attendees.

Week 2: Nurturing Anxious Minds

Whilst it is true that many children suffer from anxiety at any one time, those who are neurodivergent (ie are autistic, with or without PDA; have ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia etc) are more likely to have anxiety to varying degrees as part of their experience.  In this session, the anxiety experienced by any child is approached with understanding and acceptance and is jam-packed with practical ways to support children in a positive and nurturing way.

Week 1: Understanding Your Anxious Self

In this first session, Laura and Jodie gently introduce what anxiety can look and feel like with a real and tangible understanding that all participants come from a variety of experiences. Together, we will look at the impact anxiety can have on how we behave and interact with different people as well as the internal struggles it can bring.  By offering an invitation to reflect on and recognise our own anxiety and the negative internal voices that drive it, they begin to consider ways to quieten those voices and fears both for ourselves and those we wish to support. 

Week 3: Worrier to Warrior

In this final session, we will help you and those you support to find ways to reframe negative thoughts so that it is possible to “think better and feel better.”  We will also cover practical strategies to help you manage your anxious self, keep calm and turn you from a worrier, to a warrior, ready to battle everything that life throws at you.

Week 2: Nurturing Advocacy Confidence

The aim of this session is to break down attendees’ advocacy skills, then rebuild them so that facts and controlled emotions are used successfully.

Laura and Jodie share their experiences of advocating for their children – both good and bad and demonstrate how to use assertiveness skills effectively and remove emotive language.

They also share their “Top Tips” before, during and after transitions to ensure that all objectives are achieved.
