Australia-wide
Education Webinar: The ADHD Neurotype
Join this free webinar to explore neurodiversity and the different ways ADHD can present in children.
Neurotypes refer to different patterns of neurological functioning that exist within the human population. Just as we recognise diversity in physical attributes, personalities, and cultures, neurodiversity acknowledges the natural variations in how our brains are wired and function.
In this webinar, you will learn why ADHD is not a one-size-fits-all experience and discover strategies to support children with ADHD in the classroom.

Date: Wednesday, 18 June
Time: 12pm
Location: Online.

Connecting to Community – Peer Support
The Disability Dialogue is a safe space where people with disability, families, representative organisations, providers, researchers, and the wider community work together on things that matter to us.
This event will focus on peer support and why it is a great way for people with disability to learn, be empowered and build their community.
Guest speakers Ayah Wehbe, Cath Mahoney, Mandy McCracken and Dr Qian Fang will share their insights on the benefits of peer support and what is needed to create a good peer support program.
Come along to be part of the conversation:
Date: Thursday, 19 June
Time: 1:00-2:30pm AEST (NSW, Queensland, Victoria, ACT, and Tasmania)
Location: Online.
