🌟Upcoming neurodiversity group for St Austell families 🌟

These groups are for families with a neurodiverse child or young person (up to 19yrs old), and aim to help families access and learn about the Neurodiversity Profiling Tool, that assesses nine developmental strands of a child or young person aged 0-19. This includes speech and language, energy levels, attention skills, emotion regulation, sensory processing, flexibility and adaptability, and empathy.

Alongside this, we want to enables families to meet each other and create their own support network from their shared experiences.

Parents are welcome to attend with our without children, and can pop in or attend the whole session.

Booking is not essential, feel free to come along for a chat and some cake 🍰 but please pop us a message or email info@homestartkernow.org.uk if you are coming so we have an idea of numbers.

All our other dates and locations can be found here: https://homestartkernow.org.uk/neurodiversity-support/
