Join educators, parents, and professionals for an inspiring, practical day focused on building more inclusive learning environments for neurodivergent children and young people. Hosted by The Neurodiversity Network, this CPD-accredited event is dedicated to exploring the tools, strategies, and understanding needed to better support learners with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other neurodivergent conditions.

At least 15% of the UK population is thought to be neurodivergent. Despite this, many education settings still operate in ways that don’t fully meet their needs — leaving both learners and staff under-supported. This conference is your opportunity to explore how to change that, with access to expert insights, practical solutions, and powerful lived experience.

What to Expect

Throughout the day, you’ll hear from a diverse panel of expert speakers and trainers covering a range of timely and important topics, including:

  • Creating Inclusive Classrooms & Supporting Executive Functions
    Learn how to create environments that support learning differences and how executive functioning skills impact student behaviour and academic performance.
  • The Human Experience and Cost of Dyslexia
    A powerful exploration of how dyslexia affects not just learning, but self-esteem, identity, and long-term outcomes.
  • Mental Health in Neurodiverse Young People
    Discover how to better support emotional wellbeing in neurodivergent children and adolescents — both in and out of school settings.
  • Understanding & Supporting Neurodivergent Learners
    Practical strategies to adapt your teaching approach and foster a strengths-based mindset across the school community.
  • ADHD & Autism: Is Masking a Superpower or a Curse?
    A thought-provoking discussion on the costs and consequences of masking, featuring personal insights and latest research.

Whether you're a teacher, SEND professional, SENCO, education leader, parent or carer, you’ll walk away with actionable knowledge and renewed confidence to champion neuroinclusion in your setting.
