Whilst attending in person events can create a sense of community and camaraderie, we know that it is not always easy to book these times.

Coming in July 2025, we will be offering our seminars online. This will allow busy families access at home, in the time that suits them best.

These will be offered as both individual seminars, and a package.

We are also excited to be offering new seminars, such as Siblings and our Titanosaurus therapy program for parents and children to access together, at home.

We again will have these suitable for NDIS funding.

We are open to topics that you would like help with

Parents can greatly benefit from understanding pathological demand avoidance (PDA) to effectively support their child's unique needs and alleviate potential distress. PDA is marked by a pronounced avoidance of demands, resulting in considerable emotional and behavioural challenges. By grasping the intricacies of PDA, parents can adjust their strategies and communication methods to reduce anxiety and empower their child, ultimately nurturing a more positive and supportive relationship.

This seminar will cover all aspects of neurodivergence, including definitions, common misconceptions, and effective strategies to support neurodivergent individuals. It is particularly beneficial for parents who may feel they lack knowledge or understanding of Autism, ADHD, and other developmental or psychological conditions that are common among children. Neurodiversity acknowledges that natural variations exist. This perspective enables us to support these differences, rather than forcing individuals to adapt uncomfortably to their surroundings.

WHY SHOULD I COME?

• Feel connected to other families - you are not alone

• Enhance understanding

• Improve family relationships &

• Reduce parental stress
