Webinar Recording: Celebrating Neurodiversity

This is a recording of an exclusive webinar event for Team Teach Connect members. It is based on key points raised in our episode of Talking Behaviour: Celebrating Neurodiversity and features Principal trainer, Mica Coleman Jones, and Chief Learning Officer and Global Director at Team Teach, Jonathan Newport.

While some parts of the Talking Behaviour episode focus on education, this webinar recording is suitable for professionals working in both Education and Health & Care settings.

In this webinar recording, we discuss:

• • Terms including ‘neurodivergent’, ‘neurotypical’ and ‘neuroharmony’ and how these can influence our thinking about neurodiversity.

• • Inclusion and the nurturing of individual talents for celebrating neurodiversity.

• • Personalising support and avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches to behaviour.

• • Connection vs compliance when considering behaviour support.

During the recording, we refer to different supporting resources. Please note that Team Teach does not endorse any external resources and these are intended simply to be useful further reading:
